Saturday,26th January.That time of year again,when my low level( sort of) recruiting goes up a gear-We need you! It's always great to see so many red and white vests out across the Lomonds hills in amongst all the many clubs with our friendly rival banter. 6 women in each team,leg 1 single(mainly straightforward trail leg); leg 2 paired rough tough hill runners leg approx 11k; leg 3,not quite as long but substantial, paired brutal power walk climb to start off but soon a runners leg for some speedy patches; leg 4 single, up paths onto East Lomond and one short trickier descent of about 200m ,soon on trail paths again to anchor team home!
We usually manage about 7 teams and aim to fill all age categories competitively and also with teams happy to be involved and up for a good challenge .Please sign up here or by seeing me at Tuesday,Cupar training /Thursday St Andrews training or at local races-welcome to ring me for further info tel 01334 870637 / 07942004487
Need name,training group for contact purposes and age category( ie Senior woman which is up to 39/Vet 40/Vet 50/Vet 60).I'll ask Frances Horsburgh to post this on Fife Ac facebook too.
Signing up early really helps us sort out the teams and gives time to organise recces for any newbies or to remind us of the routes,and most important to get some hillrunning in before the day itself! ( Coming out to Dave's Sunday hillrunning group is a good start,meeting every Sunday at different places,9.00am-venue on the bulleting board by Thursday of that week usually.
Devil's Burdens Hill relay is a great day out on the hills,a fantastic experience to be involved in(-no matter what the weather...and last year we survived!Can be brilliant sunshine or a real outdoor challenge,but same for everybody and with the right kit feels fine).
PS Have some FAC red with white print genuine Buffs left for sale,£10,-meets mandatory hat requirement, gloves,along with compass,whistle( if you've recced the route should not need sharp navigation ),waterproof top and waterproof trousers in bumbag- we can help with any kit for people new to hillrunning,don't let kit requirements put you off signing up( and FAC vest not essential but on a sunny day,good to be flying the club flag,altho usually muffled under outer layer if it's baltic)....Really no excuses accepted...
