NEW RACE for 2015 – GLENCOE SKYLINE
The provisional route starts at the Glencoe Mountain Resort and, via the West Highland Way, accesses Buachaille Etive Mor ascending via Curved Ridge. A full traverse of Bidean nam Bian ensues before dropping down into Glencoe valley to climb up to Sgorr nam Fiannaidh. There is then an extended traverse of the entire Aonach Eagach ridge, before rejoining the West Highland Way and descending into Glencoe Valley via the Devils Staircase and returning to Glencoe Mountain Resort. Nice!

Please keep me up to date with this event . I have a lot experience in marshalling and running events I have been involved in the 2007 AR WORLD Championship and have been organising AR events since 2005 And for the past 3 years I have been the race director/ planner for the Antonine Trail Race
and I would love to be involved in the Glencoe Skyline Race.
Can you please notify me when this race opens
Did this whole route a number of times when I worked at the Clachaig Inn (magical times) as it was a natural glorious cirque. Although took in the Bidean tops, down An Stron, and up the Clachaig Gully path. Will be a massive undertaking as a race with support and fixed ropes a plenty, be a classic.
Come on! Don’t tantalise us with such an incredible race and then leave us hanging! When will entries be open?!
It’s bad form to refer to “Glencoe valley”, because “glen” already means “valley”. It’s quite enough to say “descend into Glencoe…” or “descend to the valley floor”. Gotta get this kind of stuff right!
Thanks Alistair but for the non Scots who don’t know a Glen is a valley, we will leave it in. We all learn something new everyday!
