Feel the Burns is a hill run that includes Peat Law, the Three Brethren, Brown Knowe and Foulshiel Hill. Last year the route was shortened due to the snow so it was great to get to run the full this year in a cool but for the most part clear day, with low cloud over only one of the peaks. Haggis pies were enjoyed post race. 🙂
Second lady and first FV40 for Gillian Cairns

Yes it’s a great bit of the Borders and a race I would have done; but it was not there for me when I was racing all these years ago. Some great running by our runners, especially Gillian and a great run by Michael.
This is my favourite race in the calender and it seems like a few of you guys like it too 🙂
Definitely a good race to support as it raises so much money for charity.
Thanks for writing another report Sadie and incuding all of the photos and results – you are a star!
