Simpson impresses at Ben Rinnes
Scots junior sensation Robbie Simpson showed once again this weekend why he is one of the sports brightest prospects when he beat Joe Symonds’ course record and a good quality field at the Dufftown Games’ hill race the Ben Rinnes 5 Tops
Reports are that he beat top Scot Jethro Lennox by a big margin (10 mins), and though we are not sure on the story of the race that is an impressive performance against a man who has been in pretty good form recently!
Scottish Hill Racing briefly report on their Facebook page
Robbie Simpson set a new course record at Ben Rinnes of 1:54:02 winning by almost 10 minutes from Jethro Lennox 2nd in 2:03, with Stewart Whitlie 3rd in 2:05. Eilidh Raistrick was 1st lady in 2:31, followed by Gill Irvine (both Highland Hill Runners) and Veronique Oldham of Cosmics in 3rd place.

hey Matt – he only beat Joe’s record by 11seconds – not sure that counts as “demolishing” it!
