Description
|
|
|
Race no.2 of the Lochaber AC "Triple Hirple" of 3 races in 3 days:
Melantee,
Half Nevis and
Cow Hill
|
The Half Nevis race has one of the oldest records on the Scottish hill racing calendar, set by the evergreen Colin Donnelly 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.
