Well done to the 6 Hillbillies who braved the hills to complete the Glenshee 9. Peter Simpson won 1st M50 and Alison West won 1st F50.

From race organiser Alastair Hubbard:
There were more than a few nervous faces before the start as low cloud shrouded the Glenshee hills suggesting that strong navigational skills could be a key component for this race! However the tops began to clear within 30 minutes of the start and the 105 runners in the last of the SHR championship counters had little problem finding their way around the nine Munros surrounding Glenshee. Good running conditions were reported and this was reflected in both the male and female records tumbling.
Tom Owens pulled away from Robbie Simpson on the final leg of the race to reduce his record by 13 minutes to 3.07.21. Claire Gordon had a strong race to decimate her record from 2008 by 17mins to 3.56.31.
Other notable performances included Tom Scott as 1st MV60 despite a nasty head plant and the small contingent of runners from Italy (on a hill runners exchange) who lent an Alpine feel to the race with their noisy and exuberant supporters. 91 runners completed.
Thanks go to Braemar MRT, Glenshee Ski Centre and Run4It for their support.

Well done to the 11 Hillbillies who turned out for the Dollar Hill Race. Not only was it a Grand Prix counter it was a Scottish Hill Runners and British Championship race. There was a big field and also great cakes at the end. Results to follow.

Peter was 2nd Scot MSV. Dougie McGarry made a welcome return to hill racing and had a very impressive run finishing 160th in 1.45.16. It was a close race for the next four Harriers with Fabienne Thompson leading the pack to finish 173rd in 1.48.18, followed by Colin Reynolds 176th in 1.49.20, Neil Campbell 177th in a course PB of 1.49.24 andAndy Sim 179th in 1.49.39.

Well done to all the Hillbillies who turned out in what Colin Reid described as “Brutal weather conditions”. It was a great race and we did well Alison West got 1st F50, Bill Duff got 1st M60 and Pete Simpson got 3rd M50. Neil Campbell also continued his run of pb’s.
The Bog and Burn series was very fitting for this race as there was a lot of water about just to make it interesting.

This is a really fun race. The descent is probably the roughest and toughest of any Scottish hill race and at only £3.00 is a total bargain. Bring a tent and midge cream…

RACE REPORT
After rescuing this race from death it was always a risk taking it on, but a healthy field of 53 runners from all over Scotland proved that people want this race to continue and so it will.
Fine conditions on the night meant fast times were on the cards and the race was won by Oleg Chepelin of Shettleston in 33.48. Veronica Oldham (Cosmics) took the ladies title in 39.33. Adrian Davis (Carnethy) was 1st male vet and and Jacqui Higginbottom (Carnethy) was 2nd female and also 2nd Vet. Martin Laing (Fife AC) was 1st over 50, Tom Scott (Fife AC ) 1st over 60 and our own Stevie Cromar was 1st over 70. Jocelyn Scott (Fife AC) was 1st female supervet. The Hawks (Craig Love, Paul Leonard, Ian McNulty) were 1st team narrowly beating Fife by 2 points.
A big, big thankyou to all those who helped out on the course, at registration and in the kitchen. The success of the race is all down to you. Those who donated food ensured that everyone was well fed and watered and feedback from runners was really positive – well done!
Dave Hanlon
Just a reminder that the White Tops Hill race takes place this Friday evening (2nd July) at Balkello woodland Car Park at 7:30 pm. Registration is at Auchterhouse Village Hall from 6:pm.
