The Nebit Challenge is a fundraising hill walk organised by the Rotary Club of Alloa, taking participants from Alva into the beautiful Ochil Hills to the beacon on The Nebit.

Join us on Sunday 31st May 2026 for a fun, well-supported community event with fantastic views across Clackmannanshire and beyond.

This event is open to:

• Individual walkers looking for a great local challenge
• Families wanting a fun day out in the Ochils
• Clubs and larger groups (Guides, Scouts, sports teams, youth groups, community organisations, workplaces, etc.)

The Nebit Challenge is a great opportunity for groups to take part and raise sponsorship money for their own club, group or chosen charity, while the Rotary Club of Alloa provides the organisation, route and support on the day.

• To the beacon and return is approximately 2 miles (3.5 kilometres – 250m of ascent)
• Route including the summit is approximately 3.5 miles (5.5 kilometres – 400m of ascent)
• A rewarding walk with big views at the top
• Many participants choose to complete their event by continuing to the summit of The Nebit (449m).  This option will be available if the organisers consider the conditions on the day to be suitable when participants reach the beacon.

There is a small entry fee to help cover event running costs.
