About 200 set off from the Sligachan Hotel across a bridge and along a short section of road before joining a narrow walkers path undulating gently upwards across moorland towards Glamaig.
The ascent is a a steep grassy climb, a few rocks come flying by dislodged by runners ahead. Gradient eases and after a grassy gulley a bouldery clamber to the top, round a cairn gasping at the stunning views then plunging down steep scree covered slopes, rocks and dust flying everywhere, towards the bottom the scree blocks a bit bigger slow the pace a bit then onto grassy slopes back to the road to finish at the hotel in about 84 mins.
130th out of 199 finishers.
Great wee race with the Sligachan Hotel providing a free dinner, drink and ceilidh after the race. More pictures here.
