Race no.2 of the Lochaber AC "Triple Hirple" of 3 races in 3 days:
Melantee,
Half Ben and
Cow Hill
|
The Half Ben race has one of the oldest records on the Scottish calendar, set by Colin Donnelly back in 1983. Only 3 Scottish hill races have older records:
Cow Hill (Ros Coates 1980)
Alva Games (Kenny Stuart 1981)
Ben Lomond (John Wild 1983)
Kenny Stuart and John Wild (pictured left) were probably the best athletes ever to race in Scotland.
