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 ridge-lines in Scotland.
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 ridge-line 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.
