If you love running round in short loops you will adore this event. The route (2.38km looks) is along the cycle / jogging path around North Inch.

Venue:  Bells Sports Centre, Perth

Options:

• Six Nations 24-hour Ultra Race

• National 100km Championships

• National 50km Championships

• 12 hours mixed 'night-time' relay (teams of six - any combination)

The event is organised by Scottish Athletics. I asked them if I could enter a team of 2 or 3 people in the 'night-time' relay as this would provide a greater Ultra Challenge than having six people. Sadly they refused this.
