Hi All, we are getting ready for our first recce run next weekend. This recce is geared at PufHie runners and will run sections of the route.

NB, Please take note of the date change. The recce will now be Saturday 6 June and not Sunday 7 June as initially indicated.

Please indicated on the poll below if you will be joining us. We will aim to have two pace groups, a medium paced group and chilled group.

Runners need to ensure they are self sufficient and carry enough food and water for at least 2 to 3 hours on the mountain. A space blanket, rain jacket and first aid kit is advisable.

We will share a GPX file next week!
