Scottish Hill Races 1999
This is Dick Walls 1999 Hill Race Calendar. It is currently fairly inaccurate so please don't travel until you have contacted the organiser of the race just to check times and dates.
Safety
Please don't let yourself be put off by the safety chat but equally do take care. You don't have to be superfit to run hill races but do try to train on rough ground up to the distance you want to try. Most races will insist on you carrying a minimum of clothing and a compass and whistle. The evening races that take place in the summer are good for beginners with minimum risk.
Here are the races I know of at 28/03/99
