JHI Hill trials; Trail Champs; East Half

SA junior hill 2017 after 4

The Cademuir Rollercoaster hill races in Peebles this coming Saturday incorporate the U17 and U20 Scotland trial races for the Junior Home International.

The JHI this year takes place over the same courses on Saturday 16 September and thus this weekend’s race give Scottish runners the chance to chase Scotland vests and enjoy some ‘home advantage’ at the later event.

These Rollercoaster races are also the final counting races in this year’s scottishathletics Junior Hill League with double points on offer. (See the table above for current standings)

However, each of the three races (3.8k, 5.8k and 8k) are open races and remain open to all; not just the trial and league contestants.

There are U11 and U13 development races, too, but these are not part of the Scottish Championships. It all happens on the day Fife AC host their ‘Festival of Trail Running’ and welcome all standard of athletes from beginners in this discipline to Scotland internationals.
