DESPITE ITS WHIMSICAL NAME THE MONTANE HIGHLAND
FLING IS A DELICIOuSLY TOuGH RACE. ITS A RuNNERS uLTRA,
COMBINING BRuTAL CuT OFF TIMES WITH THE IMPOSING 53 MILES
OF THE BEAuTIFuL SCOTTISH WEST HIGHLAND WAY, STARTING
IN MILNGAvIE, ENDING IN TYNDRuM. ADD SuBLIME BLuE SKIES
AND AN uNRELENTING SCOTTISH LATE APRIL SuN (YES THATS
RIGHT, SuN) AND YOu HAvE AN EXTRAORDINARY RACE.
The race was held on Saturday 30th April and the unusual weather
was always going to be the wild card; those that run Scottish trails
are certainly not used to such conditions, most being accustomed
to the unrelenting dreich mizzle that permeates your very soul.
So it was with all of this in mind that racers paced the Milngavie
railway car park at dawn pouting and posing race faces harder
than carbon steel.
Category after category lined up under the tunnel in Milngavie and
launched themselves off onto the West Highland Way. Females, male
veterans 60, male veterans 50, male veterans 40, relay teams and
male elite racers chased up the Milngavie high street whooping and
cheering as they ran. Race start for the male elite racers was a picture
of intensity. Jez Brag, Stuart Mills and Andrew James stood centre
front at the head of the pack each one tense, poised and ready to
battle the other.
The trio duked it out the 20 miles to Balmaha screaming through the
National Park visitors centre onwards along the shore of Loch Lomond.
Meanwhile Kate Jenkins led the female pack powering up and down
hills completely focused on the road ahead.
As the day drew on the heat increased and it was all the runners could do
to keep cool and drink as much fluid as possible. A cool wind channeled
down Glen Falloch and onto Loch Lomond providing intermittent relief,
but most of the day was a sweat soaked hot affair. At Derrydaroch near
Crianlarich, marshals and well wishers cheered the runners on as they
swept past grinning through gritted teeth.
Nine tumultuous and harrowing hours later Kate Jenkins came into
sight at the race finish in Tyndrum. With an incredible performance
a perfect example of utter single-mindedness she powered across
the finish line to the rapturous applause of the crowd who were all
in awe of her heroic feat. She sat beaming on the wooden prize podium
sipping water, her medal round her neck. Was that worth it? she
asked herself. Absolutely! came the reply from her and those around!
Meanwhile things had heated up amongst the male elite. Jez Brag
and Andrew James were in a dog fight over the final miles, whilst
Alan Smalls came tearing up behind. Everyone waited with baited
breath at the race finish. Who was in the lead Jez or Andrew?
My son is in the lead! suddenly exclaimed Mr James, Andrews father
and at once powering around the corner appeared Andrew James
jumping across the finish line into the waiting arms of his proud Dad.
Setting a new course record of 7:12:08 Andrew, who was winner of the
Montane Lakeland 50 last year, had once again thrown the gauntlet
down. Jez Brag came in 3 minutes later with 07:15:12 immediately
striding across to Andrew and shaking his hand vigorously.
Runner after runner ran up the finish avenue and across the line to
rounds and rounds of applause. This has been an extraordinary day,
commented one bystander. The most striking aspect is the good spirit
and respect everyone has for each other. Without question this really is
a serious runners race. As the prize ceremony came to a close at 8pm
all gleefully piled into Sarahs Real Food caf, stuffing down treats and
reflecting on the race. Have you enjoyed yourself? Murdo Macdonald
the race organiser kept asking everyone. That was a really tough, hot
day one racer commented, sipping a cold beer as the sun finally sank
behind the hills, but I loved every brutal second of it!

MENS BASE-LAYER: 36
Bionic base-layers are constructed from Merino Perform, a unique fabric that blends the best properties of merino wool on the inside and polyester on the outside.
Merino wool excels at trapping moisture vapour perspiring from the skin, whilst polyester transports that moisture in liquid form and spreads it out, enabling the garment to dry extremely quickly.
This unique composite construction and performance means that:
The wearer feels cooler during exercise, resulting in the delay of sweat creation.
Liquid sweat is transported to the outside of the garment more quickly, resulting in no clamminess.
The wearer stays cooler during exercise.Post exercise chill is reduced.
i wore my Bionic Long Sleeve Zip neck on the Arctic ocean for 47 days straight whilst working very hard pulling a pulk and was incredibly impressed with not only its performance but remarkably it still smelt odourless at the end of the journey! - Phil Coates, Catlin Arctic Survey 2011

When youre working hard trail running, hiking, riding or climbing, you need a fabric that can perform as well as you do. DRYACTIv Express is designed to shock your sweat. It will suck it up, spread it out fast and allow it to evaporate quickly, keeping you as dry as possible at all times during any activity.DRYACTIv Express weaves advanced fibres into an incredibly fast drying, lightweight matrix that feels soft next to the skin. When youre enjoying the mountains, the last thing you need is to feel the seams press on your body. The fabric structure of DRYACTIv Express allows our designers to tailor the garments so that pressure points are reduced and seam profiles are as low as possible.

The Atacama crossing is gruelling not only because of the forbidding terrain, which is rarely flat underfoot and a harsh climate, but also because of the altitude that averages 2500m (8000ft) during the race.
danish competitor Anders Jensen was crowned champion of the Atacama crossing 2011, after finishing the gruelling 250km self-supported footrace in a time of 30:49:05. it is the second win for the Singapore-based 29-year-old, following his strong performance in the Sahara Race 2010.
i feel awesome, said Jensen as he crossed the finish line in the ancient town of San Pedro de Atacama. im feeling much better than after winning the Sahara Race 2010. The competition was much tighter and i found this race harder.
The competition was indeed strong, with chiles very own Martin chinchilla (24) impressing the field as he pushed alongside Jensen for much of the race. Martin gave me a really good challenge, said Jensen. he is only 24 years old, he could have won this event as well.
canadian competitor darren Nichols (37) took third position after his strong performance during the brutal 73.6km stretch of the Long March, when the newcomer overtook both leaders and won the days stage with a time of 08:55:20.
Samantha Fanshawe, Event director for RacingThePlanet said, Anders Jensen is a deserving champion and an impressive athlete. he faced stiff competition every step of this race from Martin chinchilla and after losing his lead in Stage 5 to darren Nichols he really had to dig deep to maintain his position. Once again The Long March proved the key turning point of the race.
Mexicos Nahila hernandez San Juan (36) won the womens division, claiming first place with a time of 38:16:25 and 12th position overall.
Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go, she said. im very happy about winning the race. in the Sahara Race i did not push this much; its only in the Atacama that i came to race.
Newcomer Angelique Tostee (24) of South Africa took second place (39:15:40) and canadas christine horner (46) finished in third place with 41:07:04.
Fanshawe continues, The womens competition was hard fought and it was fantastic to have such a talented group of ladies competing, with the leading trio finishing within the top twenty overall. Nahila hernandez San Juan certainly found her stride in chile and i wouldnt be surprised if we saw her pushing the men right at the top of the field next time.
A record number of teams took part this year, with the Guatemalan team hombres de Maiz (Men of Maize) emerging as the ultimate victors. i feel humble and elated, said the teams Gabriel Ayau. This is such a wonderful and magical place. it really takes strength of character to be able to finish this race. its all in mind the body is gone after the first day!
Thirty-six nationalities were represented in the Atacama crossing 2011, which took place over seven days in the Atacama desert. The six-stage course moved from sand dunes, up hills and down through winding gullies and canyons, into the difficult terrain of endless, coral-like salt flats.
The 111 competitors who started the race on March 6th enjoyed near-perfect racing conditions, with clear sunny skies - and 87 competitors were awarded medals on March 12th.
There were several upsets as the altitude and extremely difficult terrain took its toll on competitors, including the United Kingdoms Sophie collett. She was on course for second place in the womens division until the third day, when she slowed due to effects of the high altitude. On the other hand, a cast of 4 deserts veterans earned their way into the 4 deserts club, having also completed the Gobi March (china), Sahara Race (Egypt) and The Last desert (Antarctica). These include Lucy Tang, May Okabe, devrim celal, Alain Wehbi, diego carvajal and Thaddeus Lawrence.

Lightweight packs do not have to compromise comfort. Pack comfort can lead you to go further and faster, ultimately enduring for longer in the mountains. Spending 18 years designing and developing some of the worlds leading mountain performance clothing has led MONTANE to develop rucksacks using the same philosophy of lightweight functionality and excellence in design. This experience gained from years of clothing construction informs pack design. Details such as expert fabric knowledge, understanding of body shape, zip garages, internal storm baffles, waterproof shell friendly back fabrics, weatherproof capabilities, expert pattern cutting, tailoring, feature specification combined with a deep understanding of the mountains and the activities MONTANE design for is a powerful recipe in creating serious mountain packs.
LIGHTWEIGHT COMFORTIn our experience, many of the lightweight packs we have seen and used compromise comfort for the sake of weight. An uncomfortable pack limits your performance and your ability to endure. MONTANE packs are category leading in their weight (all sub 1kg) without compromising back comfort in the mountains.
FUNCTIONAL EXCELLENCEFunctionality and the highest of standards is what sets MONTANE clothing apart from its competitors. We understand what is required when you work hard in the mountains through first hand experience. Simplicity is often the secret to good design and we believe there is a tendency to overcomplicate rucksack design, resulting in a tangle of webbing and drawcords. By identifying and understanding exactly what demands will be placed on the packs in the mountains, MONTANE has created innovative and simple solutions to rucksack functionality.
DURABLE AND WEATHERPROOFLightweight does not always mean loss of durability. In clothing design we choose fabrics that suit the function the garment is designed for in terms of weatherproof capabilities, durability and breathability. With experience dating back to the early 1990s, fabric selection to suit purpose and activity has become our expertise. This knowledge was applied when searching for rucksack fabrics. MONTANE also understand and see the damage done to technical clothing by cheap rucksack back fabrics; abrasive fabrics can, like sandpaper, wear away technical shell fabrics. Great care has been taken in the selection of the fabric for the MONTANE Comfort Back Panel, inner shoulder straps and hip fins.

FAbRIC INFO: 98
event fabrics draw their unique properties from a proprietary and patented waterproof membrane. Its unique composition
allows millions of tiny pores to breathe at their full potential. Sweat vents directly to the outside of the fabric in one easy step.
This is called direct venting Technology. Its genius is hidden in its simplicity. event fabrics simply let the sweat out.
event FAbRICS: dIRECT vENTINg TECHNOLOgY
Most common waterproof/breathable technologies
do not literally breathe. Instead they move sweat
in two slow steps by a process of diffusion through
a Polyurethane (PU) layer. First sweat is condensed
and absorbed into the PU layer on the inside of the
fabric. because PU absorbs and retains sweat, the
inside of the fabric becomes wet. Then, body heat
begins to push that dampness through to the outside
of the fabric where it can finally evaporate - a very
inefficient process.
FORERUNNERS: PU MEMbRANE TECHNOLOgY
event fabrics provide durable waterproof protection,
trusted by people like you in the most extreme weather
conditions on the planet.
dURAbLE WATERPROOF PROTECTION
We could mention the exceptionally low Water vapor Resistance (RET) of event fabrics. Or, we could talk about how
much higher the Moisture vapor Transmission Rates (MvTR) are in laboratory tests. but, do you run in the lab? do you
ice climb inside a climate chamber? The bottom line is decided in the field. Out there its a black and white world: youre
either wet or dry. You either soak in your own sweat, or not. Its that simple. event fabrics let the sweat out.
LAb TEST RESULTS
All event fabrics protect you from the wind. And, all event fabrics provide you with sweat-free
comfort through our unique direct venting Technology. garments, gloves and footwear made
with event Waterproof fabric add another level of protection. Patented surface treatments and
fabrication methods keep out water - even hard-driving rains - without blocking those millions of
tiny pores that let the sweat out.

Abrasion by cheap rucksack shoulder fabrics has been a consistent problem for many years. How should this be countered? Add even tougher, heavier fabrics to our shell garments and compromise the weight and breathability in this area? No way! When starting the process of rucksack design, this was one of our first priorities, and we worked hard to source a special fabric which will be more kind to all waterproof shell fabrics. We call it Contact Mesh.
It is far less abrasive than Airmesh, a fabric used on many packs in the outdoor market.
It is soft against the skin, helping to reduce any skin abrasion if only wearing a T-Shirt.
It has a superb ability to shed snow easily and dries exceptionally quickly; far better than Airmesh.
