REPORT ON THE 2011 EVENT
The Nairnshire Challenge 2011 took place in good weather conditions, albeit there was a strong headwind for cyclists as they approached Nairn and the finish. 525 people registered to enter the event fewer than the previous year, in line we understand with entry levels for similar events raising sponsorship. The first man home was Terry Christie in 2 hrs 11 mins 16 secs, and the first lady home was Dagmar Borrowman in 2 hrs 46 mins 17 secs. Congratulations to both, and a huge thank you to the small army of helpers, volunteers and supporters, and not least the participants who make the event such fun and so successful.
Check out our short video of the 2009 event.
