Arran Skyline
Arran Skyline will be held over a gruelling 45km course with over 3500m overall ascent, taking in some of the most beautiful and challenging ridgelines in Scotland. For the first time in 2020 we will be part of the Skyrunner UK & Ireland series.
Course Profile
Timings
Cut Off Points - For runner safety there is one cut off point that will be used during the race. Competitors who have not reached the support point at North Sannox by 4:30pm (26km point) will not be allowed to continue back onto the ridgeline and will be transported back to Brodick. In addition we will also be using a discretionary cut off point at 28km, if the events staff feel a runner is struggling (physically/timing), they will be instructed to descend via Glen Rosa rather than completing the final Tarsuinn Ridge.
