Hill running is one of the smaller athletics disciplines, and Central has its share of participants. Entry to hill running events is normally done by individuals rather than as club teams.

There is a Scottish Athletics Junior Hill running league comprising a series of races across Scotland between spring and autumn. There’s also a great Scottish Junior Hill Running Facebook page with information about events coming up.

Full details of hill running events are available either from Scottish Hill Runners (http://www.scottishhillrunners.uk) or from the Events Calendar of the Scottish Athletics website – the events calendar is searchable by discipline with hill running one of the options.

A number of Central AC members do their hill running under the banner of Ochil Hill Runners (see http://www.ochilhillrunners.org.uk/), so if you don’t spot Central AC in the results, that may be why.
