The rain started as the race started

Tinto Handicap 18th Aug 2004

Organiser: Jill Mykura

 

16 runners turned up for the first Tinto handicap race to bag some mega club points. When we arrived at the car park there were clear views up to the summit and the sun was shining – honest! Just in time for the first runner, the heavens opened, the torrential stair rods came down and some mist settled on the tops. The route took us up the main route and round the trig point, then back down and off on a path at almost ninety degrees towards Scaut Hill. There were creative routes to Totherin Hill with some opting to traverse across the heather to a sheep track and others retracing steps and heading more in the Maurice Cleugh direction. It lashed for the duration of the race and Moira had her brolly up as she came into finish – alternative body cover, but hard to fit in the bum bag. As soon as the last runner finished the skies cleared and the sun came out – honest! Afterwards we dried off and refuelled in the Tinto Hotel.
