Simon 2nd M60 🥈

Susan 1st F50 🥇

Kasia 2nd F40 🥈

Hilary 3rd Lady 🥉

Fraser Herron 2nd U15 boys, for the race and the season 🥈

There were also good runs for the seniors from Ben, Tilia, Chris, Frankie, Gavin, Grant, Finlay and Moira, who came 2nd lady for the day 🥈

And strong runs from some other hard working juniors with Alfie, Jasmine and Ellie. 😁

Thank you Gary Macfadyen and his hard working team of volunteers, out on the course and in the hall afterwards. Thank you for any food donations. And finally to anyone who has run in any of the seasons races…

Well done to today’s masters cross country runners. Venturing down to Glasgow to race against a strong field of runners.

Cross country is never an easy outing and with such a large number of runners the placings and times mean that much more.

It’s been a while since the gents have had such a big presence down there. There was also a debut race for us from Frankie.

And two of the Harriet’s represented the ladies section in fine form.

Gavin Hughes, 32.29 24th in cat
Robert Patterson, 34.51 39th in cat
Simon Dobbs, 37.57 18th in cat
Chris Gransden, 38.25 21st in cat
Grant Symon, 41.40 50th in cat

Kasia Klonowska, 27.32 13th in cat
Siobhan Evans, 31.25 13th in cat
David Weir, 26.28 12th in cat
Frankie Barton, 29.25 4th in cat

With the final ND league race at home next week let these people inspire you to run, or volunteer. 🔴🔴

Well done boys, another great weekend. Were the pints last night and the fry up this morning the correct race prep? Nope!! But it was enjoyable all the same.

When and where are we going next…. 🔴⚪️🔴
