Fortunately the rain held off for the Callander edition of the Trossachs Night Trail race series, conditions were muddy and slippery under foot but that was due to the rain that had fallen earlier! This years route followed the lower paths below Callander Crags and paths by Bracklinn Falls, 5 short but testing climbs and a variety of terrain along the way. Robert Simpson (Shets) had an excellent run finishing well clear of the rest of the field in 25.33. Second home was Robert Russell of Central 27.11 followed by Stuart Paterson of Grangemouth Tri Club. In the womens race Catriona Buchannan (Ochils) was the clear winner in 31.50 with Val Houston (Westerlands) finishing a brilliant 2nd overall and 1st F50, Heather Simpson (Westerlands) was 3rd lady. 80 runners took part. Thanks to the marshals, the Riverside Inn for hosting the event and to everyone who turned out on a damp night.
