The third running of this event again took place in almost-perfect conditions. How do we manage it? We had a record 11 teams and all finished. In fact every runner competing since 2015 has finished the race. We also had a new overall race record, two new leg records and a leg time that was matched, to the second, from 2017. Remarkable.
PH Racing Club were this year’s victors in 14 hours 36.34, taking around 9 minutes off the previous record held by Stonehaven AC. This performance was due in no small part by an astonishing run from Ben Hukins on Leg 2, who took over 24 minutes off the previous leg record.
Carnethy had two teams out – Carnethy and Scald Law (and half of Fifi & the Pixies); and the 2nd place from Carnethy was the best the club has done in this race thus far. The victory next year perhaps?
