K5 Gus Nov 2020 7:44pm, 2 Nov 2020 4,132 posts	Quote Pin K5 Gus Yep, he seems to be hoping for some travel exemption for organised events to be announced, I think he'd be better just binning it. Scot Gov published their travel guidelines for the new 5 tier system yesterday gov.scot and with Killin being in a tier 3 area, then I can't see any exemption that would allow it to go ahead.
57.5 Degrees of Pain Nov 2020 11:39pm, 2 Nov 2020 6,277 posts	Quote Pin 57.5 Degrees of Pain Even a race in a Level 1 area like Highland/ Moray (obvious example being Speyside Way) would seem to be scuppered by those travel restrictions if a great number of participants live in Level 3.
Son of a Pronator Man Nov 2020 7:51am, 3 Nov 2020 8,815 posts	Quote Pin Son of a Pronator Man and because the Central Belt, and Dundee City are in Level 3, that where most people - and most runners - will be
Dvorak Nov 2020 10:33am, 3 Nov 2020 21,229 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Isn't the travel moot as the events themselves would be banned? Maybe somewhere in Highland or the islands, when events are permitted, small races, five or ten km could be put on - local races for local people. As for Glen Ogle - nearly five weeks away, things could change. Not that hopeful, but specifically, Stirling could move to a lower level. If the race was permitted, would organisers be able to say that entrants from higher level areas could not attend?
Ally-C Nov 2020 12:13pm, 3 Nov 2020 1,045 posts	Quote Pin Ally-C Stirling numbers are relatively low, we are only in level 3 because of our proximity to Glasgow & Edinburgh imho. Can’t see that changing soon.
Son of a Pronator Man Nov 2020 12:22pm, 3 Nov 2020 8,816 posts	Quote Pin Son of a Pronator Man Difficulty is that "Stirling" - which is part of Forth Valley Health Board Area - has Stirling City, Falkirk etc along with the rural parts. The definitions are too general.
K5 Gus Nov 2020 7:10pm, 4 Nov 2020 4,138 posts	Quote Pin K5 Gus I see that the Speyside Way Ultra is going ahead a week on Saturday, but only for those not living in a tier 3 or tier 4 area. Racing now becomes a bit of a postcode lottery ! Good to see a race going ahead though
JulesR Nov 2020 7:38pm, 4 Nov 2020 25,523 posts	Quote Pin JulesR Main reason why Stirling is in tier 3 is that Forth Valley Hospital was forecast to hit capacity in 6 weeks time. Our stats are pretty decent, but that was the clincher apparently.
57.5 Degrees of Pain Nov 2020 1:14pm, 5 Nov 2020 6,281 posts	Quote Pin 57.5 Degrees of Pain Just entered a couple of the Moray Way Ultras. Was tempted by the 100 miler... but not that tempted. Also let them know I could volunteer for the Speyside Way this year if they have lost any Level 3 based volunteers!
