ARRAN RELAYS

by ·

Arran Relays  – Saturday 21st July
This is a favourite event on the Club calendar.  The Round Arran Relay is a 6 stage relay race.  Each team comprises 6 runners who will cover stages varying in distance from 7.5miles to 11.5miles.  The race starts at Blackwaterfoot and each stage is run as a separate race finishing in Brodick.  The overall winners are determined by the total times for each stage.  We have a minibus booked and plan to camp on Saturday night (or book your own B&B) returning to West Lothian around 7.30pm on Sunday evening.   Spare camping equipment available to borrow. If you don’t want to stay over, you can easily return home after the race.  The usual format is that Saturday evening we have a nice walk to a local pub for a meal.  On the Sunday morning some of us will have an easy run before breakfast or take a walk along the shore.   Lots of options before home time: a long trail walk, climb a hill, visit the Castle, shopping etc etc.  It is a great weekend and a nice way to meet other Club members.

 
This year we have only been able to secure 1 team.  Although this means we can only have 6 folks in the LRC relay team, there is room for plenty more runners to come along.  Some of us are not worried about being in the LRC relay team so this will free up some relay legs.  We can either ‘double up’ or there are ALWAYS other clubs desperate for folks to fill slots in their teams so anyone who wants a run will get one.
 
Confirmed folks to date are Suzie Hannah, Richard Docherty, Stephen Malcolm, Finlay Slane (Finlay – please contact me, I need your email address to send you info), Teresa & Jim Salvage, Jim Alexander, Mags Turnbull.  If I have missed anyone let me know.
So – if anyone fancies it, please get in touch and I’ll send you details.  This event will be subsidised by Club.
