Kim Cavill joined 129 intrepid runners in the Jedburgh Three Peaks race, a quirky 38 mile race with 4,800 feet of ascent. It\'s a balloon shape route, with a beautiful stretch out on the St Cuthbert\'s Way along woodland and riverside trails, glorious with the fallen leaves and very crisp autumn weather. The climb over the Eildons, was tough with steep, rough sections. After 26 miles runners had to go through a playpark where the official route took them along two rope bridges, up a climbing frame and down a slide! Kim led the women\'s race from the start and ended up with the win in 6 hours 35 minutes crossing the line to Gangnam Style. Kim described the race as fantastic, friendly and bonkers!
