    Scottish Islands Peaks Race

    I apologise for registering on your web site as a non fell runner, but I have a plea that one of you may be able to help with.

    We are a team planning to take part in this years Scottish Islands Peaks Race 18/20 May. One of our two fell runners has had to withdraw through injury, leaving us less than 4 weeks to find a replacement capable of running 60 miles up and down 11,500 feet interspersed with periods of sleep deprivation and seasickness, all in a period of approximately 48 hours!

    We are all nearing middle age and therefore are not contenders for places, but plan to enjoy ourselves and finish somewhere in the pack.

    If you have the time and would like to join us, check us out on

    Shame I'm working at an Adventure race at Alton Towers or I would have snapped your hand off, it's definitely on my tick list, I've done the 3PYR a couple of times. good luck finding a replacement.

    Well done. I did it in 1995. Very hard and very enjoyable 44 hours of challenge.

    Best of luck - I ran the Mull and the Jura legs of this last year. It's a great experience, but be prepared to be cold, exhausted, wet and miserable!
