In the Italian Dolomites Jason Wilson helps Ireland secure a bronze medal at the 24th World Masters Mountain Running Championships. Closer to home Duncan Millar completed the 15km route from Fort William to the summit of Ben Nevis and back taking in a huge 1,350m of climbing on the course. So no more complaints about running up Princess Street!
