This weekend sees the inauguaral Loch Ness 360 Challenge finally get under way after a two-year wait. I’m just finalising my preparations before heading to Dores for the start on Friday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three challenges taking place over the weekend – a full ultra run over the 129km course, the ‘three marathons in three days’ event and a mountain bike circuit following largely the same course with a few detours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m taking part in the three marathons challenge, and with more than 3000m of ascent and some tough terrain, it’s going to be a real challenge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A live tracking system is in place for all runners and bikers. Follow me live on Friday<\/a> when I’ll be running from Dores to Drumnadrochit, Saturday<\/a> from Drum to Fort Augustus, and Sunday <\/a>from Fort Augustus to Dores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be posting some stuff on my Twitter feed<\/a> and will update the blog with more after I hopefully get past the finish at Dores on Sunday and enjoy a cool beer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’ll also be more coverage in Active Outdoors the following week once I’ve had a chance to recover a little bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
