WEST HIGHLAND WAY RACE

Posted on June 21, 2012 by Shane Fenton

Lothian Running Club veteran duo Jim Alexander and Alan Robertson will this weekend take part in the gruelling West Highland Way Race.

Essentially the object of the West Highland Way Race is simple. You start at Milngavie Railway Station (7 miles north of Glasgow) at 1am on Saturday 23rd June 2012 & run/jog/walk to Fort William Leisure Centre by noon on the Sunday 24th June 2012, with 35 hours to cover 95 miles including 14,760ft of ascent.

Both club athletes have contested the race before, Jim set a PB of 28 hours 53 minutes 22 seconds last year with Alan recording his best time of 25 hours 15 minutes 55 seconds in 2009.
