I've not run this race before but have covered the route a number of times on training runs. I'm looking forward to taking part in the race in 2009.

 

 

The Devil o' the Highlands Race

The "Devil o' the Highlands" is a 43 Mile footrace which begins at Tyndrum (Perthshire) and finishes in Fort William (Highlands). Each competitor has 12 hours to complete the course which follows the latter part of the "West Highland Way".

This race is ideal for anyone who wishes to up their race distance from a marathon and experience real Ultra-distance running in the excellent company of fellow runners and the views of some of Scotland's most beautiful scenery. (unless of course the mist comes down)

The race starts at 6am on the morning of Saturday 8th August 2009 from the "Green Welly Stop" car park in the High Street, Tyndrum. The owners of the complex have graciously offered to open the shop to allow us the use of their facilities. Tea, Coffee and last minute food supplies can also be purchased here.
