Competitors of all ages and abilities from right across the UK took part in a sold out 49^th Dumyat Hill Race, with race records broken in the University of Stirling’s flagship running event.

The race that doubles as the Scottish Student Sport Hill Running Championship and Scottish Hill Running Race, witnessed Matt Knowles break the race record for the fastest male, with the University of Edinburgh student coming home in an incredible 32 minutes and 13 seconds, knocking 10 seconds off the previous record.

Naomi Lang raced through the finish line as fastest overall female winner, with the University of Glasgow student, outpacing the rest of the field in a time of 37 minutes.

On an amazing night for participation and bringing the community together, over 350 race goers took part in the hill run with the eldest runner being 74 years of age.

Graeme Matheson, University of Stirling Sport, said:

“Every year, we're overwhelmed by the support from the local running community and our partner organisations for making the Dumyat Hill Race an incredible show.

Next year marks the 50^th Dumyat Hill Race, and we can't wait to celebrate this important milestone in style.”
