Rain is forecast,fingers crossed it melts some of it and it dont freeze

I take it they won't cancel the race but provide a shorter route?

In 2008 they shortened it (rightly so IMO) du to snow but mainly ice. It went to the summit of Arran Bennlyn I think it was, the first summit on the ridge anyway. So it still ended up a good 6-7 miles and in that section you do most of the climbing. I think the winning time was 55 minutes or so, so still a good length run.

The ice was pretty lethal even before they turned us back that year! However we didn't have to go to Rhug for a lamburger as the Aran Lamb Burger Van was right there at the finish line - anyone know if it will be there this year? Worth going for even if you don't run!
