You normally can, but I'd drop Mike Mellor an email to check.
We've always pre entered the last 3 years. They have always taken entries on the day though. Cracking race Iain, and a better descent than the one off Tryfan. LolOriginally Posted by IainR
Brilliant race. Stunning island.
EsT won 1:20:30 ish.. not sure 2nd, Carnegue guy, Brian Marshall third, Hunters lad 4th, forgot his name. me 5th 1:26 something. Not sure who won the womens, thought she was Carnethy but not sure. Jil Mykura was back running, she must have been 3rd or 4th woman..
I was 5th at the summit and 3rd and 4th were way ahead and Al Smith back behind me so I was able to take it easy on the descent. One fall and usual granite rash... but foot felt much stronger than it has for months..
Then did a 9.5 miler up another set of hills., legs are shattered now.
Deffo one to do again. I think he prefers pre-entry but as I'd emailed late on I got in. Friendly well organised race.
That brought back some memories - ran it twice
1959 7th 1-27-12
1960 5th 1-25-25 (Ian Donald of Beith was the winner)
is this Goat Fell on Arran?
yeah, glen rosa horse shoe also sounds a classic..
i've been up there lots on holidays, i'll try check the race out some time. any race in that setting would be great
Just got back from Goat Fell, think there were about 80 runners. Hell of a climb and downhill......take some plasters.
Iain, saw you briefly on The Adventure Show tonight on BBC2 Scotland, quite a lot of chat before/after with the top 3 men and women, and cameras at various points up the hill.
Not sure if this is available on the iPlayer or not for those who missed it.
Looks a good race.
ps "Goatfell", not "Goat Fell" :-)
