Two harriers made it to this one - on a cracking sunny morning in scenic Denny and Bonnybridge! I was feeling a bit sad not to be up in Inverness (where my entire extended family were running in the 5/10k/marathon) so this seemed a good last minute alternative. Met Rob B on the start line and enjoyed the undulating course with around 600 others. Thought I was on for a much quicker time than Pitlochry, but (very like Pitlochry) the final km had been 'interestingly' measured (plus uphill and into the wind) and I finally crawled in at 47.25 and Rob came in soon after, beaming broadly, at 53.26. There was also a very friendly chap whose name I've forgotten, but he apparently runs with us regularly (has a holiday house or caravan near Glenturret??) and sent his regards. An enjoyable and well organised race nearby, if anyone fancies it next year.
