Kaim Hill Race 4 May 2005
Westies Wimmin rule at Kaim! 4 wimmin and 3 men ventured down to North Ayrshire for the first mid-week Kaim hill race. 36 runners in total (apparently a marked improvement on previous numbers despite a clash with Troon Tortoises 10K). Out of 5 female runners, Westies placed 1, 2, 3 and 4!
1st Lady Helen Palmer 38.36
2nd Lady Helen Macpherson 48.55 1st FV
3rd Lady Pat McLaughlin 52.39 1st FV50
4th Lady Rosie Crockard 55.09
5th Lady Jan Emsley (Arran) 55.58
And the men?
1st Alan Smith Deeside 30.29
2nd Dan Whitehead Cosmic 30.33
3rd Andrew McCall Greenock Glenpark 30.49
9th Luke Arnott Westies 33.32
10th Chris Upson Westies 33.38 (not feeling too fresh from his Himalyan adventure)
15th Murdo McLeod Westies 35.47
Due to generous sponsorship, there were prizes for up to 10th male. The women's team prize was noticeable by its absence. Sod's law!

Thanks to Helen for an excellent report. We should also mention the scrumptious tea and cakes afterwards. A great wee race which deserves better numbers than it gets.

Kaim was top quality! 3.5 miles which felt much further through the tussocks and heather, endless prizes and very nice fruit cake.

It definitely is a quality wee race; its got everything - road to buckle your legs at the end, uphill trail where you haven't quite got an excuse to walk, a river crossing and the famous tussocks and bog. Excellent post-race refreshments. Thanks again to organisers.
Chris and Luke - I've got your prizes; I'll bring them to Ben Lomond.
