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.

Further details (route, elevation, etc) can be found HERE.
