Running in the hills
I wrote a list of Scotland's Grueling Mountain Races, which is worth a look if you are thinking about these things. There are several other posts about various hill races, the LAMM, Highland Cross, and a couple of relay hill races Comrie and the Hodgo.
For hill running in Scotland take a look at these websites.
shr.uk.com ~ The Scottish Hill Runners website has a good calendar, results and race reports.
scottishhillracing.co.uk ~ Does most of what the above site does but also has a cool database thingy for all the results and has maps of each race.
Check out all my results.
I interviewed Richie Cunningham who runs the WHW each year along with several other Ultras and 24hr races.
