Distance: 8.25km | Ascent: 450m | Duration: 16 days | Feature: Runnable hills | Runners: 72
Web Master Digby Maass’ course received much praise and offered running up some of the kinder Pentlands hills. It was a fast course, which would have favour of some. The long downhill from Capelaw was a knee tester.
22 out of 72 beat their handicap predicted time. Previously performances at Braids and Swanston handicap show Carnethy members on average go well on the fast courses. Hence the predictions were not made too easy this time.
