This Section gives views to Arran, Ailsa Craig and Ayrshire to the West, Greater Glasgow, Ben Lomond and The Campsie Hills to the North. Look South and you’ll see Tinto Hill. The Course varies from road to trail and includes a 11 mile section through the Whitelee Windfarm.

Tee or Tree?
This year you may opt for us to make a donation to Trees for Life rather than receiving a T Shirt.  The donation per person will be equivalent to the cost of a T shirt and will fund a single tree in the Strathaven Striders Grove.  We are aware that many of you have a drawer full of T shirts and may prefer to make a contribution to the environment rather than adding another T shirt to your collection. If you would prefer this option simply select 'Tree for Life' when asked for T shirt sizes. Trees for Life is a charity with a vision to revitalise wild forest in the Highlands of Scotland, providing space for wildlife to flourish and communities to thrive (https://treesforlife.org.uk).
 
We look forward to seeing you on the start line.
Please join us on the JLM FB page and JLM Strava Group… If you haven’t already.
