Welcome to the updated West Highland Way Race website.
The primary aim of the web site is to provide information on the WHWR and hopefully we will be able to maintain and build on the excellent work from the past.
It would have been nice to have put this up with some whizzy new features but fear not they will follow. The race web site receives approximately 1.1 million hits per year and to be honest we want to make sure that the basic content does not fall over before we add new content. A bit like running the race and trying not start off too quickly!
You will be glad to see that a list of current starters for this year’s race is included – click here or look under RaceInfo and scroll down the right hand side. The BBC adventure show coverage of the 2009 race can also be found on the RaceInfo page.
The sometimes difficult to catch drop downs have now gone and we hope this will make life a little easier for those of you with sensitive touch pads.
Coming soon – new forum, race profiles, not just of the runners but of some of the people you will only quickly glance at on race day. The veritable army of folk without which the race would not be run. Other features – favourite training routes, links to sources of training info and potentially race merchandise.
The race history is currently being formatted to a common standard and will be updated shortly.
Send us an e-mail or post on the forum for other things that you would like to see.
