Braes Road Race – Results

A hardy bunch of 23 runners lined up for the second race in the Skye and Lochalsh Running Club Winter Race Series at Braes on Saturday.  Blustery hail showers loomed but, luckily, everyone got around the 4½ mile course and back to the hall to enjoy soup, sandwiches and some magnificent home-baking by the time the bad weather swept in!

Phil Dewar and Wilma MacRuary both held first positions in the male and female competitions respectively, and have lined themselves up as the people to beat this year.  Phil completed the course in 28 minutes and 57 seconds, followed by Lee Mather in 30.07 and Alasdair MacSween in 32.13.  Wilma scooted round in 35 minutes and 2 seconds, followed by Sarah Stephenson in 35.07 and Lesley Campbell in 35.40. 

The current standings in the SLRC Winter Series Championship are as follows: Phil Dewar (20 points); Alasdair MacSween (12); Niall Till, Neil Turner and Lee Mather all tied on 8 points; and Paul Davidson (4).  In the ladies championship, the standings are: Wilma MacRuary (20 points); Janette Tasker (14) and Sarah Stephenson (8).

The next race in the series will be the Isle of Skye 10k at Glenmore on January 21st.
