The final night trail race was held on a clear but cold evening on 9th March. The course followed a lot of single track trails around the Lodge and up one very muddy mountain bike trail before joining the forestry roads and crossing the golf course to finish. First home by over a minute was Shettleston Harrier Joe Symonds, followed by Westerlands runner Gregor Stewart and in 3rd place Craig Harvey who was also first v40. The top 3 also finished in these positions for the 3 race series.
The womens race was a close affair with Madeline Robinson Helensburgh pipping Catriona Buchanan by one second to the line, with Laurie MacDonald in 3rd. Carnethies Harry Gilmore won the V50 category and also won the overall series.
Thanks to the sponsor Craft Sportswear, the Trossachs Search and Rescue, Forth Inn for hosting the event and finally all the marshals for ‘volunteering’ to stand in the freezing cold.
Finally it took me 5.5 hours to mark the course during which time I lost a dog chasing rabbits for 3 hours, so Canna says thanks for giving her the opportunity to be in doggie heaven for a while!
