From organiser Alan Graham:
“Boy, were we were lucky! The day before the rain hammered off the hills with visibility down to a few yards – I know because David and I were up there marking out the course! Luckily, on the day we had near perfect running conditions apart from some very damp ground. A record field of 132 lined on the field for the Scottish medium counter. Andy Symonds of Carnegie took an early lead and was never challenged to finish in a new record of 1.29.22. Vets Stewart Whitlie of Carnethy (1.31.52) and Colin Donnelly of Lochaber (1.31.59) closely contested second place.
