Another bright & warm day for this perennially sunny race saw just 34 runners toe the start line for the 670m ascent of Glas Tulaichean. A light breeze chased the pack up with Carnethy’s Matthew Knowles first to reach the summit finish in 36:57, two minutes clear of 2nd placed Cameron Young (Shettleston) and Tom Cunningham of Corstorphine in 3rd.
First female to cross the tape was Alice Goodall in 47:04 to make the double for Carnethy, followed by Hanna McInally of Strathearn and Ochil’s Alison Smithard. In glorious conditions most runners lingered for a while on top before the jog back down to the farm for tea and prizes.
Our thanks as ever to Dalmunzie Estate for continuing to support this event & especially to all the volunteers for making it run so smoothly: summit timekeepers, registration & all the folk involved in making the teas, sandwiches & cakes that were demolished afterwards. And thanks too to all the runners for coming along & rewarding their efforts.
