For Whitlie to win the championship this year is bit like waiting for the Number 4 bus from Hillend after a few pints at the Steading. You know it is going to come at some point but Jayus will it ever just happen. Stewart is undoubtedly an elite runner and his talent and participation led him to winning this year’s championship with a race to spare. In the last seven years Stewart has attained 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 2nd, Joint 2nd and 5th positions. I left out one year (2011) when Pamela (vengeful wife) had to prove that if she does compete in the championship then she can beat him (and so, ahem, she did). There are currently 12 who have completed the championship who will be worthy of a bottle of beer each. Previous winners of championship since 2008 are Jacqui Higginbottom, Kate Friend, Keith Burns, Helen Bonsor, Charlotte Morgan (x2) and Cali Ingham.
