Arthur’s Seat Handicap 15th Sept 2004

Organiser: Nick MacDonald

The final handicap race of this year attracted a large number of competitors as usual - 25 runners including three non members turned out at Arthur’s Seat. The route took us over the ‘5 tops: the two tops of Arthur’s Seat, Dunsapie Hill, Whinnie Hill and Salisbury Crags, involving some tough climbs and descents, with accurate route finding bringing definite time savings. The average running time was 41mins, exactly as the handicaps predicted. Adam ran the fastest time of 30:38, but it was Stewart Barrie who stormed round beating his predicted time by more than 3mins, to win the maximum points. Meanwhile non-member Iain Murray finished first, starting from an estimated handicap – perhaps he’ll now join the Club. In the series, the points totals closed up even further with 9 runners being within the top 10 points, but Moira Stewart just managed to hold on to a two point lead ahead of Win Rampen, winning her first handicap series, and justifying her dedication as being the only person to run in all 6 handicap races this year.
