A total of 250 runners descended on Arran last weekend for the first Rat Race Ultra Tour of Arran … and what a sparkling event it turned out to be.
Race organisers thanked the hospitality and welcome of the island while residents and businesses praised the high standard of organisation for the event, which had its base camp at Ormidale Park, which was left spotless after being turned into a weekend campsite.
Such was the success that the event is likely to become an annual event and has already been pencilled in on the busy Rat Race Adventure Sports calendar for next year.
