A cracking start to the new year!
After a break of a few years the Greenmantle Dash was back
with vengeance. Now hosted by the Penicuik Harriers the short dash up the front
face of Trahenna on a glorious sunny day, drew over 100 runners from the south and
beyond.
A few Moorfoot Runners made their way along to Broughton,
including Heather & Dorien who cycled there, warming up on this frosty
morning, and racking up a few extra miles for Doddie Aid.
The race is only 2 miles long, but full of challenges!
Starting at Broughton Brewery, first you have to loup over a wall, wade across
the river (which wasn’t as bad as a couple of days ago) but still knee deep!
Plod through a muddy bog and then slog up to the top of the hill! Beautiful
views and you were certainly warm by the time you got to the top! Then it was a
case of trying to stay on your feet on the steep slippy down hill, back through
the muddy field and then a flat sprint along the road to the village hall.
Everyone had well earned their soup & Broughton Ale!
A really friendly event, well organised by Penicuik
Harriers, encouraging Marshalls and great kitchen helpers
Some great prizes as well - a box of organic veg & eggs
for the winners from each age category!
