Organiser's Description
The Type II Fun Run is an ultra like no other. Set in the Scottish Highlands, starting from Blair Atholl and finishing in Aviemor, the Type II Fun Run is entirely self-supported, there will be no set course, no feed stations, no base camp, no massage tent, no mercy. The race will be won by strategy, not chiefly by speed. Only skilled navigators and those with the ability to embrace discomfort will make it. 30 hours, a mix of mandatory and optional checkpoints. Sound horrible? Do you like to sign up for horrible things? Then read on...
Runners will race from the start to the finish, but the distance covered and the route taken will vary between each competitor. Racers will not win by getting across the finish line first, in fact the time is nearly irrelevant. Arriving early will offer no advantage in the standings. The race is won by points collected. Solid navigation and strategy are key. Note that we haven't mentioned the distance. That part is your problem. 3-5 May.
