Criffel Hill Race:

The 2025 Criffel Hill Race was run for the first time within 20 years in the July instead of the previous March slot, so instead of wind, rain, snow and ice it was run in a sunny 25 degrees/  The organisers, Dumfries Running Club, provided water and a hose to spray cold water on the competitors at the end of the tarmac section to help keep the runners cool. Although once the runners climbed a short way up the hill they were greeted with a nice breeze. The race attracted 44 runners.

14 HHRC member entered the race of which 5 made the top 10 places, Luke Park coming in 3rd place just breaking the hour in 59 minutes, a great time, Morgan in 5th place, Callum in 6th, Adam Park 7th and Adam Anderson 10th.

There were class wins for Pauline 1st FV60, Linsey 1st FV40 and Kevin 1st MV60. 2nd places in their classes were Adam Anderson MV50, Jennifer FV50 and Craig MV60. 3rd place in class went to Nicky MV40.
