The first weekend of June brought another packed schedule of racing for the Harriers.

Six Harriers took part, with Kristina Glynn continuing her excellent form to finish as 3rd female in 1:01:29 🥉 . A special mention goes to Becky Simister, who completed her first race following a prolonged period of injury and knee surgery - an incredible achievement 💙. Well done also to Derek Elliott-Jones, Ruth Harrison, Vicki Fraser-Hopewell, and Charlie Francis for taking on the trails.

🏙️ Roon the Toon 10K
One of Ayrshire’s most popular road races, Roon the Toon combines a fast course with fantastic local support. A brilliant 19 Harriers took part this year.

Congratulations also to our Club President, Scott Mason, who claimed 3rd V40 in 35:20 🥉, and to junior member Callum Walker, who was 1st U17 in a superb 39:23 🥇.
There were fantastic performances throughout the field, and it was particularly lovely to see Laureen McKay and Magda Thomas crossing the finish line hand in hand - a wonderful reflection of the camaraderie within the club.
Special recognition also goes to David Gemmell, who completed the double, taking on both the Killearn 10K and Roon the Toon in the same weekend - outstanding effort! 💪🏻

💪 Scotland Spartan Super
Never one to shy away from a challenge, Karen McQuarrie continued her obstacle racing exploits, finishing as 4th female in the Scotland Spartan Super. From trails to walls, carries and crawls - Karen seems to excel at it all! 👏🏻

🏰 Dunfermline Auld Toon 10K
A long-standing fixture in the Scottish road racing calendar, the Auld Toon 10K winds its way through the historic streets of Dunfermline. Pauline Henderson continued her remarkable run of success, once again claiming 🥇 1st V60 in a fantastic time of 48:36. Another gold medal for the collection!

From country roads and woodland trails to town centre races and obstacle courses, the Harriers were out in force to kick off June in style. Here's to many more miles, memories, and medals over the summer months 💙💪🏻
