In memory of our former hill running captain George Murdoch we are encouraging our club members to come along to our annual Tribute Run for George at the Tinto Hill Race which takes place at 2pm on Saturday 13th November in Symington near Biggar. This event has been very well supported by our club members over the last three years and we would like to see another good turnout this year.
This year the Tinto Hill Race is pre-entry only using the online Sientries system (www.sientries.co.uk). This should be familiar to anyone has recently ran the Carnethy 5 race. The entries open at 9am today (Monday 4th October) and will close when the limit of 250 has been reached. There will be no entries taken on the day although the event registration and number collection will be at Symington as usual.
The link to the entry page is https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?elid=Y&event_id=387
This popular hill race is 4.4 miles (1500 ft) and is the final event in our 2010 Hill Running Grand Prix. It is an ideal event for club members to try as an induction to hill running. So for those of you who still have yet to do a “proper” hill race this is an ideal opportunity to give one a bash and whether you wish to race it, jog it or walk it we ask you to come along and take part.
There is a 10 minute drive from the Sports Club to the race start so allow plenty time. If required to do so by the race organiser, you MUST carry full waterproof body cover and a whistle.
Symington is 48 miles south of Dunfermline and is near to Biggar. Travel across the Forth Road Bridge and onto the Edinburgh City bypass and then south onto the A702 towards Biggar. If you wish to car share then please meet at Dunfermline Academy of Sport at 11am.
