White Tops Hill Race

Three Hillbillies traveled up to Aucherhouse  for the White Tops Hill Race. Christopher Davidson, Melanie Sinclair and Neil Campbell. Great Race and very importantly a superb post race spread well worth the race fee on its own.

Thanks to Dundee Hawkhill Harriers for rescuing this race.

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!
