Preparations are continuing for the ArranMan triathlons and marathon which will descend on Lamlash next weekend.
There was criticism of the organisation last year but Arran Community Council heard this week that talks were still ongoing between organiser Alan Anderson, North Ayrshire Council, the police and emergency services. However, a final decision for the event to go ahead is still to be given.
There will be extensive waiting restrictions in Lamlash next Saturday and Sunday for the event, which will be based on Lamlash green. Around 300 are expected to compete, almost double last year’s number of contestants.
