Girls on Hills Ltd is the exclusive and recommended recce provider for Skyline Scotland. We are delighted to offer this official guided recce day for the Jacobite 100 ultra trail race. 'This is an ultra-running journey through the Scottish Highlands with an exciting midnight mass start, utilising established paths and trails to weave through the glens, along lochs, and pass over mountain bealachs. The Jacobite 100 is a runnable 100km with a Scottish Highland journey at the heart of the race experience' - Skyline Scotland The recce is open to both men and women, and will be led by a local and professionally qualified running guide, who also has first-hand experience of Skyline Scotland events. You can therefore be assured of a safe, high quality experience with someone who is extremely knowledgeable about the area, event and race route. Your guided recce will be Summer Mountain Leader qualified as a mimumim and there will be a maximum group ratio of 1:6 You do not need to have a race entry to participate in this event, but you do need an appropriate level of endurance running fitness. The guided day will allow you to recce highlights and remote sections of the race route and size-up the magnitude of the undertaking to inform race-day pacing and strategy. The route taken will be as follows: SATURDAY Bridge of Orchy to Glen Etive (the first 42km/500m of the race route), finishing at the Coiletir crossing over the River Etive. This is a wild an inescapable section of the race route. Therefore, it is not possible to retire part-way or break the recce into shorter sections. It will be tackled with a 'go through or go-back' approach! Your recce may involve an early start (weather dependent) and will include transportation from the end of the recce back to your vehicle. SUNDAY On the second day we will start our run from Dalness in Glen Etive and follow the race route through the Lairig Gartain to Glencoe, where we will join the West Highland Way. Our day will end with a run over the Devil's Staircase (highest point on the route) to Kinlochleven, where there will be transport waiting to return you to your vehicle. This shorter second day amounts to 19km and around 800m of ascent, leaving only the remaining (and straightforward) section of the West Highland Way from Kinlochleven to Glen Nevis, which we will not recce during the weekend. PLEASE NOTE: Our intention is to travel at a speed which is comfortable for the whole group, with time allowed for chatting with each other and the guide on the move. Your expectation should be a mix of running, jogging and walking rather than a fast pace. You’ll need to come prepared for a big day out with your own clothing, equipment and food. A full kit list and itinerary will be provided nearer the time, including details re transport and logistics. Accommodation and food is not included. You should book accomodation to suit your budget in the Glencoe/Ballachulish/Kinlochleven area. We recommend you stay in the area on both the Friday and Saturday night as a miniumum, to accommodate possible early start/late finish. Due to the remoteness of the area and irregular public transport, we advise bringing your vehicle with you to this event. Once you're here, lift-sharing will be facilitated over the weekend. The group leader has the discretion to change the route followed, should conditions or group fitness dictate. For more information on the race and to enter visit: Jacobite 100 — Salomon Skyline Scotland® www.girlsonhills.com/terms-and-conditions The event requires a minumum of three persons booked for it to run.
