ooh a multi distance event would be great - I love these events where the 10k'ers mingle with the marathoners - if you have different start times to ensure the shorter distance people finish at roughly the same time as the longer distance people - it makes for a very sociable event :-) Moray is perfect example of that - its the best event i have been to (tho granted i havent done loads!!)

Star, that's a good call too. So the 1-2-3 start would actually be 3-2-1 which actually sounds better The Pentlands 3-2-1! And actually a couple of our ultra folk in facebook have said, add a 4th lap and make it an ultra too! Hmmm, maybe summer 2012!? Not many maras in July, are there?! :-)G

Sorry to be pedantic but 3 laps of 8.5 = 25.5, not 26.2. And I got an O grade in Arithmetic before you were allowed to use calculators. So maybe a bit of running around the car park to make up the distance ? Otherwise N-I-C-E

Or two laps based on the Pentland Skyline route? That would be a challenge and a half! One lap is murderous! carnethy.com - 16 miles, 6200 feet total climb

1. Loch Ness

2. Edinburgh
