  Amy had recommended this race and very kindly drove some of us through to Muirkirk in her ‘pocket rocket’. The weather was a little chilly when we got out of the car and we had some debate over whether … Continue reading →

This is a lovely coastal route which is pretty flat and is on grass, path and track. Very well organised and marshalled. It is chipped timed and this year you were able to get a print out of your time … Continue reading →

Well this is my 1st race report on the page. Tracy and I arrived in Moffat early afternoon as we were staying in the campsite for a couple of days. Plenty parking in and around the town centre although the … Continue reading →

Billed as ‘Possibly the best, and generally the longest time-wise, of the mid-week Bog and Burn races’ I was expecting a challenge, full body cover was required so I went prepared with map and compass. The map I had printed … Continue reading →

I camped at Aviemore and a fellow runner gave me a lift over to Braemar which took a good hour and a half. The weather was very wet in the morning and I was glad by the time we got … Continue reading →

This was definitely the hardest hill run I have ever attempted and in terms of mph, the slowest. However, I can still almost walk today and am quite chuffed at having survived without any permanent damage (so far) and I … Continue reading →

I didn’t manage along to this race last year, but those who ran it last time said it was a great short race, so I was really glad to run it this time. Just three hilly Harriers – me, Rob … Continue reading →

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 →

This was a first for me and I really enjoyed the event. It is held on the East Linton gala day and the gala queen sounded the horn to start the race, which was a lovely touch. There was plenty … Continue reading →

Lovely to see so many Harriers in this race on such a beautiful evening! [picasa width=”640″ height=”400″ bgcolor=”#000000″ autoplay=”1″ showcaption=”1″ user=”penicuikharriers” album=”es_RedMossKipsRace10515″]

The route was changed slightly from the website due to the Promenade being busy so most of the race was ran on the beach. The tide was quite far out so the sand was quite compacted and we didnt have … Continue reading →

This is a fast race with a lot of club runners, the description on the website is: ‘the route is on the open winding starting from the end of Turnhouse Road and circling Turnhouse Golf Course and Cammo. There is … Continue reading →

Purely in running terms, Sunday was not a great day for me. Some things were within my control and others not. Quite simply, I found it flippin’ hard work and to be absolutely truthful, I was far more relaxed and … Continue reading →

I had thought about doing this for some time. Only downside to any Ultra is the rather boring, time consuming long runs in training. Reckoned with my new employment status,I wouldn’t have any shortage of time. The day arrived, a … Continue reading →

We had a lovely harriers road trip through to Kinghorn in Fife for this race in Suzie Maxwell’s car. This was the first year they were using chip timing, we got a tag to attach to our shoes along with … Continue reading →
