With it being a Scottish Champs Race this year I was thinking of online entry, but Hill Running is about turning up paying your money and running up and down a hill. Simple.
With the weather good and improving we had a lovely view over the route as we hammered in the Feather Flag at the Beetfub Monument. A 25 minute drive later (and half a mile) and we were set up for registration. Moira and Hilary got organised as Bob and Lee started parking duties.
The cars appeared in flurries and Gordon had to support the registration team, and soon the first field was full. With the weather looking good I decided to not require full kit to be carried, and with 105 entries by 11:45 we shut registration.
A couple of runners caught us up and by the time we were in the start field we had to register 5 more, then John Robson arrived with cycling shoes (marital mis-communication) so I went shoeless to let him run, thanks for the extra £5 for charity donation John.
So after a short thanks to John Blair-Fish, who died 4 years ago, for thinking up this great wee race, the 113 starters jumped the fence and at 12:15 I set them off.
It is a great sight watching the hordes ascending the steep start and then seeing the odd head bobbing along the ridge. and after about 17 minutes we could see the leaders sliding/running down from Great Hill.
Murray Strain won the race in 21:55 followed by Robbie Simpson and Tom Martin. The ladies race was won by Stephanie Provan of Deeside by just 3 seconds from Miranda Grant of HBT.
Ewan Fairgrieve was first junior and Cleona McCheyne of Inverclyde was first junior female.
I was pleased to count all 113 runners in and my shoes came in 105th position.
It was great to see so many people out and I hope the prize winners all enjoy their Beefy Prizes.
Thanks To Cali Ingham, Jonathan Whitehead and Nick MacDonald for marshalling the hills, and to Gordon Cameron , Hilary Spenceley and Moira Stewart for Registration and timing. Bob Waterhouse and Lee Murphy for parking duties, and last but not least, all the runners for turning up.
