If you're just thinking about it, I'm afraid you're far too late because entries closed months ago. So maybe time to start thinking about next year (see race site at http://www.westhighlandwayrace.org/ for pre-requirements, other info and helpful forum)?
There's a few folk I follow on Twitter that've done it if you're on there?Originally Posted by Helen0779

There are folk on here who've done it (more than once) and are doing it again. But that's still no help if the OP's talking about this June!
Missed that.Yup, rather think she'll be hard pushed for that!

Of course it's a good idea! ;-)

If you're not following the WHW race forum already that should be your first port of call for advice and tips. Also well worth looking at the various WHW runners' blogs.

As to more specific advice, well that would depend on your experience and what in particular you want to know. Given that you've got a place that would suggest some reasonable ultra experience already.
Anybody know when the entries open for this race?
I think i might try it next year.
The problem with this race is the support that is required. Someone has to give up a weekend just for you.

Re: West Highland Way
I've looked at this one too , but as mentioned the support is abit of an ask, I think it said one driver and another person capable of running the last sections with you. Its a long weekend for a support crew. If u could get the support it does look a good event though
