First time this race has been run, I had been looking forward for quite some time as the race had been cancelled for the last two years. Registration in the Ardgarten Hotel then a 40 minute stroll to the start. 50 runners today and chip timing, 50 yards of running on forest road then a fast walk up through the trees to the An t Sron ridge, running again along the ridge for about a mile before another hard walk up to the Needle. Slow start to the descent through rocks then brakes off back along the ridge finishing with a steep plunge through the forest, weather perfect today, clear and cool, dry underfoot.
