Arrochar Alps

[Trossachs?]

Well for all of those of you who enjoyed the 'Great Lakes Run' a similar treat awaits any of you willing to drive up to Glasgow next weekend for the Arrochar Alps Race. It would be good to see more of the southern runners coming up for this tough classic, easily accessable but tough. My avatar is the course profile!!!

Here are Arrochar results from last year:

As you'll see, times are broadly similar to what you might expect for Jura.

Lift: on the remote off chance that anyone could use a one-way lift to this race on Saturday morning, I shall be driving south Lochcarron - Glenshiel - Invergarry - Fort William - Arrochar.

I can't believe how long this has been on my "must do" list (since it was first run years ago). Recced it last year in about 6 hours but am really not in shape at the moment.

I'm just hoping it will be on again next year.

I hate to state the obvious, but the weather forecast for Arrochar tomorrow is changeable so anyone coming up to race will need the standard safety kit, i.e. full body waterproofs, suitable map, compass, whistle and emergency food. The tops maybe in clag, so write your bearings down before hand.

Next week, how to suck eggs.

Get it in your diaries for next year.

Well done to Jason and Westies for keeping this going. Next stop a "British"?

Does anyone know what's happening with this one?

Number of different websites suggest entries opened on 1st March, but no details about who to address a cheque to.

Fellrunner mag says entries via SIEntries from 1st April but there's no listing of the race on SIEntries. Future races are usually listed with a 'Entries Open On........' comment.

I've emailed the organiser a good few weeks ago and had no response.

Not in a mad panic, but want to make sure I get a place as i'm off on my jollies on 1st April and don't want to miss out if there's a sudden rush via SIEntries.

Looks like a cracker, Jura & Great Lakes will just be warm ups!!!!!!!!!!
