IGHLANDER, a global long-distance hiking event series with 15 countries on its global map, has announced the launch of a new event in it’s roster for the Lake District, UK. HIGHLANDER was founded in 2017 when friends - Jurica Barac, Igor Mlinarevic and Andrej Mlinarevic - decided to share their love and passion for long-distance hiking with Croatian hikers, hiker enthusiasts and nature lovers. From there, this phenomenon grew to become what it is today. HIGHLANDER’s potential was also seen and recognised by the world’s leading event brand, the Spartan Race, which became a strategic partner in 2021.
