CONGRATULATIONS to Rhona Hutchens, nee Gillies, on her winning ways at the Islay marathon which saw her outrunning all others in 3 hrs, 41 minutes and 17 seconds.
Veteran long distance runner Jim Lutomski was the men’s champion clocking in at 4hours, 2 minutes and 19 seconds. His grit and boundless energy was also much to the fore one week later when he pounded it out at the Loch Ness marathon.
The trio comprising Bronwen Currie, Matt Jackson and Andrew Davis won the team relay race in just under 3 and a half hours and seemed oblivious, as did all the competitors, to the far from ideal weather conditions.
