Slioch Horseshoe Hill Race

After Jura last weekend I was not to sure about this race and only made up my mind to run it on Friday. I headed up the A9 on Friday night and got there just as the sun was going down.

Saturday morning looked a bit misty and as the morning went on it burnt off to leave a really sunny day. Two weekends with great weather. People will think I’ve been away on my holidays with the tan I’m building up.

Here is the race profile from my Garmin so you can see what it looks like. (click on the thumbnail to see full size)

I really enjoyed the race which has some tough climbing and equally tough descending. It might not be as long as some races but I can certainly feel it in my legs today.

Best of all they laid on a massive spread of food at the end, worth travelling up just for that.

Thanks to Ross & Highland Hill Runners for putting on a well organised race.

I would certainly recommended it for next year. Let’s see if we can get a few more Hillbillies up there.
