OMM Elite Win for SROC Member!

 Philip Rutter, running with Finlay Wild, won the Elite OMM last weekend in Glen Artney!

The results are here https://www.sportident.co.uk/results/OMM/2024/OMM/

It was a closely-fought battle. They were in second place on the first day, only 1 minute behind the leaders. On the second day they overtook and ended up 1^st overall by less than 2 minutes in 11 and a half hours of racing.

This is an amazing result in the UK oldest Mountain Marathon.

Congratulations to other SROCers too for great results, including Matt Cochrane, Karen Nash and partner Rowena Browne and Calvin Routledge. Apologies to others who I will have missed.
