It may have been a glorious day for the Goatfell hill race last Saturday but the temperatures, in the mid-20°Cs, were too hot for the runners.
That did not deter 175 hardy souls to take on the 874m Goatfell challenge - now organised by the Shettleston Harriers - with only six people unable to finish the gruelling 15.5 km race. But there was to be no record breaking runs this year.
