I was given the attached photo from Barry Craighead a while back and forgot to sent it out. Its a photo taken at the start of the first Carnethy 5 race – 27/2/71. The race was started by a guy called Grant Fraser from the radio/tv. Think I can spot (a 20 year old) Robin Morris and Richard Robertson, but not 100% sure as they look so young!!
Others running include Jimmy Jardine, Bill Gauld and Bobby Shields (who is the only person who from that race likely to be running this year – and perhaps deserves a special mention/award if he finishes).
We know all the names who were at the race (from the 1971 results page on the C5 page on the web site), but just need someone, eg Jimmy Jardine to put names to faces. If anybody else can put names to the faces let webteam know! Download larger version (right click and ‘save as’).
