Glamaig, seen from Sligachan<\/p><\/div>The 25th Glamaig Hill Race took place on Saturday and saw Finlay Wild win by more than 6 minutes, smashing the long-standing record which had been held by Mark Rigby since 1997. Brian Marshall – winner of the race for the last 9 years – this time had to settle for second.<\/p>\n

The race route – which crosses a bog before heading up and down an extremely steep and punishing scree-slope – is held each year on the Isle of Skye. The original record for the run was set more than 100 years ago when a Ghurka named Thapa, one of a group of climbers visiting Skye, ran barefoot to the top of Glamaig<\/a> and back. His time was unbeaten from 1899 until the 1980s.<\/p>\n
