Darin third Vet at Dunbar 10 Mile

I spied Darin Dougal was in action at the Dunbar Doon Hill 10 mile race last Saturday and recorded a very creditable 11th place and 3rd M40 in what was a field with some real quality - GB and Scottish Senior International hill runners Murray Strain and Andy Fallas were 2nd and 4th respectively with the winner Eoin Lennon, a sponsored ultra runner from Carnethy over 4 mins clear of second! Full results here Well done Darin.

This is how the organisers Dunbar Running Club explain the race:

The EDF Energy Dunbar 10 Mile Race (a.k.a. the Doon Hill Race) is held partly on unclassified roads, and mainly on farm roads, trails and paths.  

After a flat 2 miles out of town, there is a steady climb up to the highest point on the course at around 5 and a half miles.  Enjoy some terrific views out over East Lothian and to sea, and then make your way back down again and onto the finish.
