Kilpatrick Hill Race – Kilmarnock Harrier & AC

Another Wednesday, another Bog and Burn hill race, this time at Old Kilpatrick, looking over the Erskine Bridge. This is one of the faster B+B races and would suit roadrunners/trailrunners (Keith Haining has done well here in the past). On a night that was cool and cloudy but ideal for running, the honours went to Colin Glencorse(15^th in 51-30) and Davie White(16^th in 51-39), both very well placed in a classy field. Kilmarnock Harriers other competitor was Roddy Pugh, who had one of his better runs of the season so far(52^nd in 58.48, comfortably in the top half of the field).

Next week the series moves on to Cort-ma-law in the Campsies (again suitable for road and trailrunners). We had a big turnout at the Land o’ Burns 10k (report to follow?), held on the same night as Kilpatricks. Hope to see some traditional roadrunners venturing off road this year
