The rain and thunder held off and we had another cracking Hill Race in Abernethy. 75 of you ran up and down Castlelaw in less than 45 minutes, more than half of you were children!
This year saw the retirement of Colin Morrison as race organiser extraordinaire, although he couldn’t stay away altogether and was busy marshalling instead. Colin has spent many years (10?) organising the hill race and ensuring it’s success and deserves big thanks for his hard work and dedication. Keir Allen took on the mantle this year and did a grand job of sorting, organising, strimming, checking, shouting, awarding and all the other bits that go into running a successfull hill race. Looks like it is in very good hands for the future.
