Comment from  Eddie  6-Jul-2006 1:17 PM I vote we run an Ochil 2000's

Comment from  Euan  13-Jul-2006 11:05 PM Not a bad idea if the logistics work.... Wouldn't it be better to agree a specific route to avoid cheating!? Also, isn't mid-May about the busiest part of the calendar? Wouldn't catch me running it, mind you.... ;-)

Comment from  Caspian  19-Jul-2006 11:05 AM I could certainly be tempted to do the race - I like the idea of leaving some opportunity for route choice between check-points on the summits - we could borrow some orienteering punches and controls for the check-points.

Comment from  Simon Randfield  20-Jul-2006 8:02 AM I have run something similar the last couple of years and think its a great idea ,esp with pubs at either end. We've gone for an early am start to allow a drink at the finishing pub (washed down with some food), with our families. Great idea!

Comment from  Ron McCraw  20-Jul-2006 10:09 PM Great idea - a race waiting to happen. I'm certainly up for it. Route flexibility sounds good and agree re need to check timing with race calendar

Comment from  JD@Westies  23-Jul-2006 12:32 AM excellent idea. Go for it.

Comment from  John MacEwan  23-Jul-2006 10:41 PM Sounds like a good idea to me. Orienteering punches and figure out your own route the way to go. Might be an idea to have a trial run of it as an actual event with a small number of runners.

Comment from  Alex  27-Jul-2006 9:01 PM There was a gap in the Calendar this year, with no races on the weekend of the 13/14 May, but I'm not sure the same thing will happen next year (I think it was because May day was early)- There is always the first half of April or later in October.

Comment from  GK@westies ...  20-Aug-2006 10:06 PM Echo all the comments so far. We need more races of this length / climb in Scotland. Again, I think May would be ideal (pre-midge hopefully)

Comment from  colin abercrombie  21-Aug-2006 4:07 PM great idea. I would certainly be happy to help with the organisation

Comment from  Andy Symonds  20-Sep-2006 4:33 PM Sounds like a great idea to race the Ochil hills. Does anyone know if it's been done before of if there's a record for all the summits? I'm thinking of doing it as OMM training sometime in the next few weeks... could be a good trial run for the race...

Comment from  Alex  23-Sep-2006 10:32 AM I dont think it has been raced before, we usualy do about once a year as a club run, taking 3 to 4 hours, but I think the race times will ba a lot quicker than that. We've been trying to set a date, May is a bit too busy, April is lambing season, so we are looking at the last weekend in March. Could make the route slightly more chalenging as there will probably be some Snow.

Comment from  Alex  25-Oct-2006 11:07 AM Ochil's 2000 Race - Date is provisionaly set for 25 August. So we can have changing Facilities at the finish, the course now has a little sting in the tail - Dumyat as the last Check Point.

Comment from  clodhopper  10-Nov-2006 8:33 PM dont see an obvious point of reference for what is the university amoungst the buildings in the vicinity of the legend on the map. Do you have a GR and is there a recognised route from Dumyat (nothing obvious on 1:50000)? Great idea for a race by the way

Comment from  Chris Upson  15-Nov-2006 12:49 PM Cracking looking route - picking up all the Ochil Donalds plus Dumyat. The name will of course need to be changed to the "Ochil 610's plus Dumyat" since we are going metric next year for the SHR calendar!!

Comment from  BB@Westies  17-Nov-2006 5:29 PM Great idea ...I've done the route before minus Dumyat at the end .....a real killer final climb

Comment from  Gareth Bryan-Jones  19-Dec-2006 8:01 PM I think Ochils 2000's would be a great race - quite like the idea of orienteering type controls on summits and find your own route - interesting choices as how to get up and down King's Seat. For a real challenge - the Ochil 2000's with the start and finish in the same place. I have done it a few time from my home in Causewayhead and also from Logie church car park. Could be done starting and finishing at the University.

Comment from  Rod McAlpine  24-Feb-2007 8:16 AM I'd be very interested in doing this race - is this the first time it's been held? I walked the route from Tormaukin to the Sheriffmuir Inn a couple of years ago and was planning to run it when I come over in March (I'm working in Dublin just now). What's the latest - is it still set for August?

Comment from  JeanieB Beaconrunners  6-Mar-2007 3:28 PM This sounds like a great race. Happy to give it a go.A good warm up for the BEN the following weekend???Depending on Hubby's health after WHW race he can always marshall if not up to running! Whats with you woosing out again Colin??

Comment from  JasonK (westies)  3-Aug-2007 3:53 PM Cant find an entry form on the site and nothing is coming up on the race page. I will try again on holiday next week, but I will definitely enter if I can get a form, so please laeve me a place on the bus. Really looking forward to this, lets push for the Scottish AL Trophy (and give it straight to Stewart).

Comment from  Matt Richardson (Lothian)  25-Aug-2007 7:55 PM Absolutely brilliant race - a big thank you to the organisers. Please can we do it again next year so that I can try to see if I can avoid all the navigational errors I made this time!

Comment from  jason kaushal  26-Aug-2007 6:24 PM Yes just to echo Matt, a friendly, well organised race with a bit of everything, all styles of running and navigation at a premium. Well done Ochils for a good addition to the short list of long hill races in Scotland. Looking forward to next year already.

Comment from  David Mason  27-Aug-2007 9:46 AM What a great race. Well organised with a great bunch of runners. Thanks to Brian for carrying me most of the way. Looking forward to next year. Matt I'm sure you can crack 4hrs if you get your eyes sorted (and pump your body full of drugs, sorry about the rocks in your bag)

Comment from  Stuart  28-Mar-2008 2:13 PM 2008 race details mention SI dibber at each control. Are dibbers provided/loaned and is the cost of this included in the enrty fee?

Comment from  Duncan  25-Jul-2008 10:51 AM Just awaiting confirmation of entry but do the hills require to be run in sequence as they are listed? I ran a recce of the route last weekend and may be a point to mention on the rise to Blairdenon that there once has been an old metal fence which now has only the metal bases of the posts remaining hidden in the grass on the slightly trodden path on the way up to the hilltop....one of which I stepped on and it burst right through my mudroc sole and into my foot!! Might be something to be aware of for runners.

Comment from  Cleave  8-Sep-2009 6:53 PM Hi everyone. Be thou the first true merit to befriend, his praise is lost who stays till all commend. I am from Djibouti and learning to read in English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Peak dancers were various, high-heeled mask services arrested on the shape, with many levels." With best wishes ;), Cleave.
