Ally-C Nov 2016 12:55pm, 3 Nov 2016 10 posts	0 Ally-C My Skye time was about a minute slower than Alloa, if that helps. Stornoway is a good half, as is the Barrathon, Barra is really tough though.
HappyG(rrr) Nov 2016 1:55pm, 3 Nov 2016 26,031 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Stornoway is lovely. Not easy to get a good time on though. Not hilly as such but "varied". First half road through town with a good chance of a headwind (in every direction!). Second half off road, park trail, undulating through Lews Castle grounds. I was probably 2-3 mins slower than a flat road marathon. G
Ally-C Nov 2016 3:48pm, 3 Nov 2016 11 posts	0 Ally-C I enjoy the island half marathons, Mull is good also. Doing Tiree next year, anyone done that?
IanS Nov 2016 3:52pm, 3 Nov 2016 1,961 posts	0 IanS I did Tiree this year. Lovely scenery but a bit of a slog between 6 and 9 miles if the wind is from the west (which it usually is!) and you probably do about a mile and a half on the beach between the start and end sections. Pretty well organised though

damo2000 Nov 2016 9:26pm, 3 Nov 2016 174 posts	0 damo2000 Thanks Ally-C, HappyG and Ian - I guess I first have to figure out what type of event I want to do (pancake, scenic, tough...) and then see what race fits that best. Too many options and not enough 'free' weekend.

princesszee Nov 2016 2:54pm, 6 Nov 2016 367 posts	0 princesszee Is anyone running the kelpies 5k at the weekend? Or did anyone run it last year? I won 2 places and a whole load of supernova running gear. I forgot I had even entered the competition 😆
