If you want to join us ...
We're always on the lookout for marshals and it's one of the best days out and great after the race too, with free food for the marshals, a couple of free tokens for the bar at The Wee Swally (open from 17:00) and a free ceilidh starting at 20:00.
Do what you can, but we need help on the hill, help at Race HQ, and putting up the marquees on Wednesday the 1st May. Any help after the race as well taking site down after the race is finished.
