It is with great sadness that we report that one of the real characters of Scottish Hill Running, Robin Morris, died on Sunday morning from cancer.
Robin was one of the founders of the SHR (or SHRA as it was originally) in 1983 and the first Secretary, He also won the first Scottish Hill Running Championship in that year. Early History here.
Robin was organiser of many races over the years, including Glamaig, Tinto, Pentland Skyline and Chapelgill and was one of the instigators of the Carnethy 5 race. A 1999 interview with Robin gives a good idea of what he was like and how much he was involved with the sport - see here.
He will be missed.
