Campbell Roy is well known amongst the Scottish rally community as a former national and international rally co-driver and for his role as the logistics/business manager to Scotland’s 1995 World Rally Champion – Colin McRae.
In order to put something back into a sport he is passionate about, more recently he has undertaken the voluntary role of competitor liaison officer for several events on the Asset Alliance Group Scottish Rally Championship calendar. He is also well known for his personal involvement in various charities over many years.
Although not in the “first flush of youth”, Campbell has decided to set himself a challenge, which is physically demanding and will test his endurance, resilience and determination, in order to raise awareness and funding for Prostate Cancer Research.
“Having decided to undertake the formidable Scottish National Trail in 2026, I am looking for some company and support along the way.”
“The route meanders through some of the most beautiful and rugged landscapes in Scotland, from the English Border in the south-east near Kirk Yetholm to the remote far north-west at Cape Wrath. It has been described as a long-distance route that compares with the best in the world.”
“This walk is about so much more than mere miles. It’s about raising awareness, helping to provide funding for life-saving research and to support the many men and families affected by prostate cancer every year.”
“Whether you’d like to walk a single mile, a full day, or several stages of the trail, you’re warmly welcome. The only proviso is that you tap into your own network of family, friends and colleagues to help us raise as much money as possible for a condition that will affect 1 in 8 men over the course of their lifetimes.”
“It’s a journey that will test my endurance, resilience and determination. But it is nothing compared to the challenge faced by those living with prostate cancer.”
“Let’s take these steps together for health, for hope, and for those who need it most.”

Campbell begins in Kirk Yetholm in July and will reach Cape Wrath in late September, walking 43 stages across some of the most remote and demanding terrain in Britain. He goes largely unsupported, without a fixed crew, and will spend many nights in remote bothies far from the nearest road.
With the encouragement, and generous support of Asset Alliance Group, sponsors, friends, colleagues, and the wider community, it is hoped that Trek 500 will raise £50,000 for Prostate Cancer Research
Every pound you give funds vital prostate cancer research, from laboratory equipment to pioneering clinical trials.
You don’t need to be an experienced hiker. Pick a stage, bring good boots and a good spirit, and walk alongside Campbell.
