There was a risk of thunderstorms going into Wednesday (8th) evening, which eventually receded. Race night had low cloud which created atmospheric conditions. Runners disappeared into the mist only to reappear in near cloud inversion on the summits.
At just over 10km on mostly hard trail this is a fast hill race. Those with road miles in the legs may see the benefit in the last kilometres.
Sasha and Ali set-off fast to chase the 2021 course record holder Andrew Douglas, who got the win in just under 40 minutes. Fiona Bunn (Edinburgh Uni H&H) was 1st F in just under 50 minutes. No course records this year.
Thanks to organiser Jamie Thin from HBT and other helpers. Those that made it to the prize giving were treated to soup and a game of guess who won each category followed by dancing for Tunnocks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
