Neil Anderson was at the Two Breweries Hill Race on Saturday. A 31km route with 1,700m of ascent from Traquair House in Innerleithen to Broughton in the Scottish Borders. Favourable conditions meant for an enjoyable race; nothing to do with the very generous race sponsor at the finish. One to add to the 2020 calendar if you love running and beer.

Despite a disrupted training schedule due to injury, Malcolm finished in 04:03:55.
