Conditions at the start were cold and dreich, but the mist and drizzle lifted after an hour or so, revealing at least some of the glen's scenic attraction.
The race was won in a time of 1.15.10 by Chris Russell of Fife AC, first home in a field of 281 runners.
Will Manners was the fastest Harrier by some margin, finishing in 14th place overall in a very impressive 1.22.40. James Bussey, Gordon Morrison and Pete Gaylor were next Harriers home, in 1.37.08, 1.40.22 and 1.44.24 respectively. Ali Manners improved on her 2006 time by several minutes, to finish around 1.55 ish (don't have exact time as the results list is incomplete).
Beth Fotheringham overcame the illness of the previous week to run an excellent 2.01.55 and Kenny Robertson - equipped for all eventualities - was close behind in 2.04.36.

As our picture shows, Kenny's shoe dilemma (see http://strathearnharriers.myfastforum.org/Shoe_dilemma_about52.html )was still unresolved shortly before the start of the race, but he wi
ll no doubt share his final decision and its consequences on the forum in due course.

I seem doomed when it comes to incomplete race results!!!Fortunately I remembered my number which they did put against the results even if they missed out the names! My time was 1hr 53:23.
