Ochil 2000s
While the Elite runners were off up north running the Glen Coe Skyline (53kms, 4250m), Mike and I were happy to settle for the more “mundane” race of the Ochil 2000s (31kms, 1500m) – part of the Scottish Long Series … Continue reading

Ben Rinnes Hill Race 2015
I have been wanting to run this race for a while, but as it is north of the Cairngorms, it’s a real hike to get there. However, as Andrea was away I decided to take the plunge and go on … Continue reading

Eildons “3” Hill Race
At 7.2kms with 480m of climb, this is a surprisingly tough little race. I last ran this back in 2009 when it was a “2” hill race of 5.5kms (400m) and the new route is a nice improvement as it … Continue reading

I am not sure if this is part of an inter-University competition, but … Continue reading

Highland Fling Ultra Relay 2015 – the slackers report
It seemed such a good idea last year when the club registered multiple relay teams for the Highland Fling. We were successful in getting two teams but it was 2 weeks ago when we all realised that the bloody thing … Continue reading

Run of the Mill
At 14.5km and 850m, this race is a great mid-distance route. In many respects, similar to Dollar, but with several kms of track at the beginning and end, may well suite trail runners (Rachel?) and be a good introduction to … Continue reading

Lomonds of Fife 2014: A torrid tale
At 16kms and 800m of climb, the Lomonds of Fife hill race is a relatively tough mid distance race. This year the route was a little different (highlighted in red) due to logging activities, so the route was a tad … Continue reading

The Two Inns Race – 2014
At 24 kms and 1770m (1540m on my Garmin??) I guess this can be counted as one of the tougher hill races in the Calendar. In fact, this is just one of the 10 races that make up the Scottish … Continue reading

Red Moss Kips race – an alternative route
Hill races can be a navigation nightmare, but the Red Moss Kips race provides a beautiful circuit with visibility for miles on sunny days (like yesterday) – it’s impossible to get lost. I’m not exactly famous for my navigation skills … Continue reading

Deuchary Hill Canter 2014: The Lemmings get confused!
I was in two minds whether to write a report about the Deuchary Hill Canter. However, as it looks like the results may never see the light of day, I think some lessons may need to be learnt from last … Continue reading

Criffel Hill Race 2014
Suggested by Bill, this was a new hill race for the Gran Prix. However, I think the 2 hour drive to south of Dumfries put many Harriers off and so only 5 intrepid harriers braved the mizzly weather and my … Continue reading
