Simpson continues to amaze
18 year-old Deeside athlete Robbie Simpson easily beat the Druim Fada hill race course record near Fort William, on Sunday. The Banchory runner covered the 6.5-mile course, with 1,200ft of elevation in 42:57.
Simpson won by over 4 minutes, slashing three minutes off last year’s mark set by Ruari Watt. Craig Mitchell (Lochaber AC) finished second, with 16-year-old Craig Tomisen in third. In the women’s race Oban runner Nicola Meekin also demolished the course record by over 4 minutes.
Full results now available at the Scottish Hill Runners site.
