More than 400 runners will descend on Arran this weekend to take part in the Rat Race Ultra Tour of Arran across both the north and south of the island.
The two-day event, covering approximately 27 miles each day, will start at the beach near Fisherman’s Walk on Saturday when around 100 runners will head south towards Kildonan and back, mostly using forest paths. On Sunday 300 runners will head northwards towards Lochranza and circumnavigate the north-eastern half of Arran.
