Glencoe Mountain Marathon · 5 October 2014
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am running for Cancer Research UK for a few reasons, both friends and family have been taken away by this demon, i am just trying to do my bit and try and help those in need.
The route snakes through the pass of Glencoe, surrounded by the towering remains of this ancient super volcano, before climbing 500 metres up the fearsome Devil’s Staircase. From the eastern edge of the Aonach Eagach Ridge you look straight onto the mighty Buachaille Etive Mor (the great herdsman) before dropping back to sea level at Kinlochleven where the Mamores Half Marathon starts. Climbing up through the Mamores the route undulates until the descent into Glen Nevis and the base of the mighty Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak.
