Hundreds of Stirling runners laced up their trainers for a challenge on Wednesday evening (May 7), competing in the 50th Dumyat Hill Race.

The University of Stirling’s flagship running event all started because of a bet made on campus in 1972.

This year marks the 50th time the contest has taken place since then.

It has evolved into an annual hill race, involving a 390-metre climb across eight kilometres of tough terrain.

The Courier’s photographer Eve Conroy was there to capture the energy and the stunning Stirling scenery.
