Devils Burdens Hill Relay 2015

Last date for receiving names is 16th January.
This 6 per team hill relay takes place on Saturday 24th January, starting and finishing in Falkland, Fife. We have entered a couple of teams in this event over the past two years and it would be great if we could do so again. This event comprises 4 stages, with legs 1 and 4 being solo legs and legs 2 and 3 being run in pairs. Legs 2, 3 and 4 are serious hill runs across open hillside, run in winter conditions with possibly poor visibility and requiring navigation skills. Leg 1 is certainly hilly but is more of a trail run. The routes for legs 3 and 4 (switching from solo to paired and vice versa this year) have been significantly changed from previous years. Legs 1 and 2 are unchanged. A recce the weekend or so before will be required to minimise the chance of mishaps. Note also that this event is the day before the vets road relay at Strathclyde Park so we should keep vets teams available for that too.

Please leave your name here if you wish to be entered. Names received so far are here. Note that incomplete teams will not be allowed but we should plan to have some reserves just in case of illness or injury on the lead up to the event.

After returning to two runs in the rain and snow I am now loaded with the cold, so I think you should assume I wont make any races this month.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
