Last week saw the inaugural Glenmore 12 and 24 Hour Trail race take place in the Glenmore Forest, just outside Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park in the Scottish Highlands.
24 hour trail races are few and far between anywhere on the planet, as 100 milers are more popular and are usually p2p races or out and backs. The Glenmore 24 & 12 hour races take place on a 4 mile loop with a start/finish area in a beautiful setting.
There were 19 runners in the 24 hour and 8 in the 12 hour. Dutch ultrarunner Jeroen Renes won the 24 hour with 124 miles and first lady was Mimi Anderson. In the 12 hour New Zealander Antonia Johnson won the 12 hour with 72 miles and second lady was Jamie Aarons with 68 miles.
The date for the next race has been announced as September 1st 2012.

Just saw this post and would like to clarify that Jamie Aarons is a female:)
Hi Jamie, thank you for pointing this out to me. I’ve corrected the error.
