Old Croc Mar 2018 2:03pm, 21 Mar 2018 29,094 posts	0 Old Croc entries now open for Benromach 10k...........a lot cheaper then a runway run!
Angus Clydesdale Mar 2018 2:33pm, 21 Mar 2018 13,370 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale Once upon a lifetime ago I spent longer than I care to remember running on and round runways. At least then they were paying me! No thank you.

57.5 Degrees of Pain Mar 2018 7:46pm, 21 Mar 2018 3,693 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain Alness parkrun is an old seaplane base. So you'd get wet actually investigating the 'runway'. I think some of the Speyside Way Ultra is on overgrown runway of the WWII RAF Dallachy.
Nessie Mar 2018 12:34pm, 22 Mar 2018 444 posts	0 Nessie I did the runway run at Inverness last year, and it was actually the fact that it was at midnight that made it "different" rather than being on a runway. They had rigged up a huge searchlight at the turning point, which was the only light apart from the small markers at the side of the runway, which don't really help you see. The searchlight seemed close, but took ages to get to. I felt like a moth. Enjoyable, but one to be run once, I think. Unlike Ben Romach. [toddles off to EntryCentral]
jdarun Mar 2018 5:57pm, 22 Mar 2018 2,609 posts	0 jdarun Does anyone know how the scottish masters running is organised? Specifically for the marathon. In England there is the Chester event and there seems to be selection for official representation based on performance in a number of earlier races, eg: englandathletics.org I consider myself an expat Scot living in England but how is the actual distinction made? (FWIW I know I'm not really that good but there's a chance I could get more competitive once I get into the V50 band and beyond.)
