SOCIAL EVENT: West Highland Way Relay – Saturday 3rd June

The annual West Highland Way Relay will be held on Saturday 3rd June.

We split ourselves into relay teams and run the West Highland Way route, starting at 7am in Milngavie and finishing around 5pm in Fort William.

Each participant can select a section that suits them best i.e. early morning / afternoon / close to home, hilly / flat, long / short etc. Everyone is welcome and there is a section to suit all abilities – you don’t have to stay for the full day / night either. There’s no pressure on you to run fast – it’s meant to be a sociable day away, and a change of running scenery from the canal!!

But for logistics, and safety, reasons we do need to know in advance what stage you intend running. Stages are:
Milngavie to Beech Trees (6)
Beech Trees to Drymen (6)
Drymen to Balmaha (6.75)
Balmaha to Rowardennan (7.25)
Rowardennan to Inverarnan (14)
Inverarnan to Tyndrum (13)
Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy (6.75)
Bridge of Orchy to Kingshouse (12)
Kingshouse to Kinlochleven (9)
Kinlochleven to Lundavra (7.5)
Lundavra to Fort William (6.75)

AccommodationFor those wishing to stay over in Fort William, we have once again booked the bunkhouse at Onich for another year (www.inchreecentre.co.uk/inchreerooms.htm). Bunks cost £20 per person, and we have a mixture of room sizes available.
