A wool sack race will be the highlight of the first Dalmally Sheep Festival
The event, which coincides with the annual blackface ram sale at Dalmally Mart, will take place on the local shinty field on Saturday, October 15.
You want me to lift what?
The race will see teams of four, including runners representing community groups and local sports teams, carry a large wool sack the width of the field in a test of fitness and strength that promises to be as entertaining for spectators as it is demanding for competitors.
There are still spaces for teams to compete in the race, with the incentive of a prize sponsored by award-winning local craft brewer Fyne Ales.
