NN1875 : Race for the line

taken 12 years ago, 5 km ESE of Torlundy, Highland, Scotland

Race for the line
Race for the line
Every year on the 1st of January Lochaber Athletic Club organize a race up Aonach Mor from the ski-centre car park at the bottom to the top gondola station. This year 108 people put aside their New Year hangovers and inevitable Christmas illnesses to run up the hill.

Here we see a final, no doubt very painful, sprint to the finishing line which lies just out of shot to the right of the image.
