While some were piling into Jim’s Fiesta and heading for Dunbar and others resting for the Skyline, Hilary Spenceley decided to do something slightly different and head to Peebles for the Tweed Valley Tunnel Run on Saturday. This is a 20km trail race (there is a 10km option), which includes running through the psychedelically lit old railway tunnel at Peebles (on the old Biggar line) – this comes towards the end of the race, when your mind has gone anyway for maximum weirdness effect. The rest of the course is like a giant Peebles Borders XC course (only 4 times as long). Hilary finished 11th woman (out of 95!) and second Over 50. Details here and results here.
