Specifically, I have to single out the 20-minute pacer, Ian. It was with his help and encouragement that I managed to wipe a massive 48 seconds of my PB, and most importantly go under 20 minutes! Great support, and very much appreciated. Thanks again”

Saturday 21st August – The Two Inns Hill Race, Creagan to Glencoe (Report from Neil Campbell)

The Two Inns Hill Race is a new race and was run for the first time this year. It is a great race and the money raised goes to the two local mountain rescue teams.  It is a straight line race from Creagan to Glen Coe. It is 15 miles long  and just over 5000 ft of climbing.  Two of the hardcore Hillbillies, Alison “The Vest” West and Neil “The Shorts” Campbell, made the trip to Creagan for the race.  Neil finished in just under 4 hours and Alison won the F50 prize.

The race was very well organised with good hospitality and food at the end. More and Photos HERE
