Dunky 22 race report and results
The Show Must Go On That the Dunky would go ahead wasn’t in question (unlike some events in a different council area!). What state we would be in on the day of the race was dubious. With the Dunky falling on the last day of the school holiday, it was always going to be tough to squeeze in a family holiday, and the race in the same week. We got home at 3am, and registration […]
Dunky 2021 Race Report and Results

Racing snakes, mud hogs, and hill lovers alike took off from the start line in “Edinburgh” and headed west towards the setting sun of “Glasgow”. By the end of the week competitors had completed over 1000km between them (997km, but two did not report in, so we’ll use poetic license and assume they completed 3km between them!). […]
Happy Birthday Dunky
A success. We’re definitely calling the Dunky just that. With £333 raised for the Woodland Trust, and 30 new trees planted with Trees For Life, I am sure you will all agree too. We had entries from as far apart as Canada to Edinburgh, and Inverness to Jersey! From ages 9 to 94, and all the age categories in between, a total of 80 entries. A full range of conditions were undertaken by finishers. Battered […]
