Son of a Pronator Man Dec 2019 11:39am, 31 Dec 2019 8,741 posts	Son of a Pronator Man 12.5 k The year I did it ( 2018?) it was super icy but the organizers had gritted the dangerous bits so the race went ahead . I think there was a race in Livi that same day when runners were having all sorts of slips and falls. Tough course even without the ice.

Ally-C Dec 2019 12:20pm, 31 Dec 2019 787 posts	Ally-C I did it last in 2018, there was icy sections and frozen muddy puddles. Right at the start everyone was trying to take a line down the centre of the toad to keep their feet dry. A lassie called us all woosies, tried to run through one of the puddles & face planted. Soaked from head to toe in freezing muddy water, ouch.

old mum Dec 2019 3:32pm, 31 Dec 2019 1,212 posts	old mum Oh dear. Entered! That's going to be one early start! Might see if I can tie it in with some work. Not during the race, obviously. I mean I know I'm female but even that's a multi task too far even for me.

zp Dec 2019 6:35pm, 31 Dec 2019 556 posts	zp I ran it, that climb at 23k was definitely not runnable .. but the rest was. Lovely run, fab weather obviously helped. I’d go back next year for sure.

K5 Gus Dec 2019 9:32pm, 31 Dec 2019 3,263 posts	K5 Gus zp - glad you enjoyed it. You can make it a 20 mile loop and run it anytime by starting further up the road past Kinlochard, at Loch Chon. Done it 3 times in the last year and definitely be back again in a few weeks
