Huntly Sprints and Clash Hill Climb – results

The Huntly sprints and Clash hill climb were held over the weekend of 26-27th May with warm and sunny conditions which made for some wonderful races.  We also ran some mini sprints for all comers on the Friday evening, with entrants ranging from first time racers to experienced veterans. All the results are below:

Thank you to all who took part and a big thank you to all the numerous marshals, without their support we wouldn’t be able to put on such a fine set of races.

There are lots of photos on our Facebook page – thanks Alan.

A special mention should be made of all four winners of the Clashindarroch Hill Climbs: Holly Rees-Lay, Jasmine Uth, Callum Smith & Logan Duncan all set the second fastest times ever for their respective climbs. Which according to my logic makes it the overall fastest Clash climb ever.

Many thanks to everyone who helped with organising and running the event especially Jason, Rick and Colin for trail preparation.

A big thank you to all the officials and helpers at this weekend of racing. Without their support we would not be able to put on these events. Yesterday’s sprints saw some of the best racing ever seen at Huntly with numerous photo finishes – visit our Facebook page to see one such finish.

A special thank you to all the British senior team & their coaches for their willingness to take part & support our event.

Our first rollerski races of the season are coming up on the weekend of 27th-28th May 2017.

The entry form can be found here:

01_Huntly Sprint Rollerski_Clash Hill Climb_entry form_2017update

Please can entry forms be returned prior to the event if at all possible.

A big change this year is for the Sprints in that we will be using our new Marwe 610 rollerskis. However the old Marwe barrel wheeled rollerskis will be available for those who prefer to use them. For the Hill Climb you need to bring your own classic rollerskis.

Update 9th May 2017

The entry form has been updated with the new race start time for the Clash Hill Climb. The race will now start at 9.30am and competitors need to meet at Rhynie at 8.30am.
