Hi Everyone,
I hope your training has been going well and you’re all prepared for Saturday’s race.
If you’re one of the many who are racing at Tinto for the first time, or indeed this is your first hill race, then good luck and I hope that you enjoy it. It looks like being another big field this year, so hopefully the notes below will be of use to you and will help ensure a safe and enjoyable day for all.
There’s been varying amounts of snow cover on top of the hill in the past week. So far it looks like it might be dry(ish) and blustery on Saturday afternoon, but you can keep up to date with the latest hill forecast here www.mwis.org.uk/su.php and the Tinto webcam is here http://www.tintopcs.co.uk/weather/webcamimage.gif Please remember the requirement to carry or wear full body cover during the race. There will be a kit check in the start area of the race prior to kick-off.
Registration will open at 12:30 and close at 13:30. The race starts at 14:00. There’s detailed maps of both the registration hall and the race start locations on the Carnethy race page www.carnethy.com/ri_tinto.htm#November There will be two desks for pre-entered runners (Surname A-M and N-Z) and a separate desk for members of Carnethy HRC. Our sponsors Run And Become will have a shop set up in the registration hall, so if you need any last minute items (like full body cover!) then pay them a visit. The Scottish Hill Runners will also have a desk at registration where those who have completed the SHR series can collect their mug. Please allow time to get from the hall at Symington to the start. It’s a 10 minute drive but also allow time to get parked.
The public car park used for the race has been increased in size this year but parking will still probably be tight so please car share where possible. There will be no parking marshals so if the car park is full cars can be parked with care at the side of the road (but not outside the residents’ houses please!) Tinto is a very popular hill so there will be walkers cars parked as well. Any areas of the car park that are taped off are for race control. Please do not use the tea room car park or park on the grass corners at the main road junction.
The race route is very straighforward, follow the well defined path (shown on the map of the race start) up to the top of the hill, go around the base of the big cairn and then return by the same path. The route is not flagged or marked on the ground, but it’s very obvious. If for any reason you retire from the race you must report to the nearest marshal and also check in at the finish before going home. This is very important, we don’t want to be searching for you when you’re sitting at home watching the X Factor!
The finish line will have a tunnel system. When you cross the actual finish line your time will be recorded and you will then enter a taped tunnel where your number will be recorded, therefore it’s important that you remain in the order that you crossed the line. You’re no longer being timed at this stage so don’t worry about joining a queue, the marshals will be doing everything possible to get your number noted quickly. You can then leave the finish area and head to the drinks station where there will be water and squash. There’s also food provided back in the hall at Symington, where the prizes will be presented as soon as possible.
That’s it. Hope you all enjoy the race and it’s PBs all round. Remember to give the marshals a wave, without them there wouldn’t be a race!
Cheers
Cameron Scott

What a Great turn out from the Club today for the UKA British Hill & Fell Relay Championships 2010
Report & Results below photos
Some photos below from Chris Upson
Some Hillbilly comments
Melanie Sinclair - survived the UKA Hill Relay’s!! 
) Ran my leg 4 which was about 5 miles, 1,500 ft of elevation in 1:23:46 which is a damn sight slower than I should have done it but a blooming lot quicker than I had anticipated given my injury! Happy with that!
Brilliant day, great running from all our teams and a great event!! Fantastic support from everyone that was there!! Loved it
David Greig – Cracking day at the UKA Hill Relays. I ran leg three with Phil Smith ‘Well’ ard. Through bog and forest he strode like some kind of Aragorn in Carnegie Colours, me more of a bewildered Frodo trotting along behind. We did all right I think.
Chris Davidson – Just back from running Leg 2 Of the UKA Hill Relays, 11ish K and 1600ft of climbing i’m told (East Lomond twice!!) in just under 59 minutes, Happy with that
Kevin Davie - great day at UKA hill relay race at falkland today. me and baza on leg 1 for carnegies b team had a fab run, with a time of 1hr 53 mins with a distance of 9 and a bit miles, and going up west lomond twice, lol with shed loads a cramp to go with it, happy days )
Neil Campbell - Really enjoyed the UKA British Hill & Fell Relay Championships 2010. Thanks to my running partner Dougie McGarry for sticking with it when he could have packed in. A REALLY BIG thank you to all the members and helpers from Fife AC who made the event happen. Great organisation and a great event.

Report from Allan Macaulay our Hillbilly Captain. Eye Eye Captain, see photo below
A great turnout of Carnegie Harriers at UKA Hill & Fell Relays today at Falkand with 3 male teams and 1 ladies team representing the club i.e. 24 members participating plus various club supporters etc. Firstly a big thanks to all taking part with particular reference to the “walking / running wounded” eg Kevin Davies, Sandy Bennet, Dougie McGarry, Melanie Sinclair, Campbell Reid and Andy Sim who all were nowhere near fully fit but still committed themselves to representing the club. Hopefully they’re ok after their exertions. We also had Sue Walker and Gillian McCracken who, whilst not recognised hill runners were happy to take on the navigation leg to ensure we had a full ladies team.
Official results will be available soon but Carnegie Seniors were 44th out of 116 teams entered; some great runs in this team with Pete Simpson and Andy Symonds 22nd fastest for leg 3, the navigation leg, and Scott Bradley 18th in leg 4 the East Lomond climb. Great results for these guys as this was up against the best of the UK’s hill runners. The other 3 teams all put in very creditable performances and details will be forwarded when official results received
Report from Fife AC
Report by Graham Bennison:
Glasgow team Shettleston enjoyed unprecedented success over the weekend winning the UK Hill Running Relay Championships from Falkland only twenty-four hours after placing second at the English 6-stage road Relay Championships at Sutton Coldfield. The elite of UK hill running gathered at Falkland for a testing event consisting of four stages over the Lomond Hills with the first and third stages run in pairs.
Shettleston duo Tom Owens and Jethro Lennox took an early lead over the opening ten mile stage coming back to the change-over at Falkland House playing fields twenty-nine seconds clear of Sheffield team Dark Peak with Edinburgh University twenty-five seconds back in third. Michael Gillespie who along with brother Matthew ran at Sutton Coldfield the previous day extended Shettleston’s advantage over stage two while Oleg Chepelin and Matt Sullivan increased the Glasgow teams lead to ninety seconds over the tough seven mile navigational third stage.
Pudsey and Bramley came through over the final five mile stage but it was not enough to stop Shettleston anchored by Matthew Gillespie who came home to take the title sixty-six seconds clear in a total 3 hours 50 minutes 10 seconds. Dark Peak held third holding of the challenge of UK Hill Champion Tim Davies who brought Mercia up from 6th to 4th.
There was also a Scottish triumph in the women’s race as early leaders Carnethy Hill runners were slowly and surely hauled in by Hunters Bog Trotters finishing 39th overall ahead of Carnethy 46th and fast finishers Keswick in 47th.
Hosts Fife AC, who started planning for this event a year ago, not only celebrated excellent organisational success but claimed team awards as third over 50 veterans team and second over 40 women’s team.
