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
