Round-up from Bill Breckenridge of a busy few weeks for the hill runners..

Senior Home International at Alva

Congratulations to Ross Gollan who was selected to run for Scotland at the up and down race at Alva recently. Ross had a tough race after a long break from racing on the hills but still managed to finish in 6th place in a very strong field.

Scottish Hill Running Championships

Three Champs races now completed so far after the recent Trotternish Race last weekend. 7 Shetts made the long trip to Skye and were treated to hot conditions on this spectacular route. Too hot for some it would seem but another excellent performance from CJ McPhail finishing in 3hrs 45, 5th female and 43rd overall. As usual this season Dan Dry led the way for the club finishing in 28th place in 3hrs 24. Full results here…

Dan is currently 3rd overall in the individual senior men’s standings and the men’s team 4th. CJ Mcphail also riding high in 7th place in the senior womens category and the womens team in 6th place.
