Carnethy Hill from Scald Law, minutes before the start of the 37th Run-4-It Carnethy '5' Hill Race.

As you can see, 2007's weather was just about perfect - which may be one reason why we had a record number of runners (with 484 finishers).
Olly Stephenson did a great job in this, his first year as race organiser - aided by various outside groups and a well-oiled Carnethy crew.
There were several people who ran the Carnethy '5' on Saturday followed by a cross country on Sunday (including one over-70!).
Hill runners are nothing if not tough!

 


A 'modicum' of stretching before the start!

The 'army' gathers to do battle

Spring air


Bagpipe air!


They're off (after a false start!)

...heading for the hills

Even here there's no escaping the long arm of the law (but he wasn't going to chase after them!)
