Well Done to the big turnout of Hillbillies at the Ochils 2000 Hill Race this year.
This is a tough race with 20 miles of running, over 4000 ft of climbing and some good navigational challenges to boot.

The Two Inns Hill Race is a new race and was run for the first time this year. It is a great race and the money raised goes to the two local mountain rescue teams. It is a straight line race from Creagan to Glen Coe. It is 15 miles long and just over 5000 ft of climbing.

Well done to all the Hillbillies who turned out today on what was a very hot day.
From race organiser Alan Graham:
By the time of the race the early haze had burnt off and it was wall to wall sunshine – our two Italian visitors must have felt at home! Robbie Simpson of Deeside had a good lead by the first visit to West Lomond and by the finish this was stretched to an impressive seven minutes over second placed Andrew Fallas of Carnethy. Mark Harris of Fife came in overall third to take the vets prize with Peter Simpson of Carnegie finishing an impressive fourth as first supervet. As always the descent gully provided good entertainment for spectators (see youtube for an older clip) and we always hold our breath until all are down safely. Bumsliding is definitely faster but the state of your backside may take a bit of explaining! An indication of the stifling heat was the unusual total of ten retirals.
