Press Report week ending 23rd November

The annual pilgrimage to Carlisle took place last weekend (15th) with a large turnout for the Clydesdale Harriers to take part in the 57th Brampton to Carlisle Road Race. As the name suggests it was a point to point 10 mile race starting at Brampton and finishing at the Sands Centre in Carlisle. Unfortunately though it was a beautiful sunny day it was also a very windy day – and a head wind at that - so majority of times were down. However two Harriers managed to achieve personal bests.

First finisher for the club was John Foley (1.03.59) followed by the ever improving Pamela McCrossan running a personal best (pb) in 1.04.37 and winning first veteran over 45 prize. Next was Bobby Rossborough (1.07.56), Craig Calderwood (1.08.40), Stephen Thompson (1.09.13), Anne Murray (1.09.33 and third veteran over 40 prizewinner), Kath Scott (1.11.19 and third veteran over 45 prizewinner), Marina McCallum (1.13.03), Hugh Watson (1.13.36), Martin King (1.13.50), Fiona McCue (1.14.26 pb), Peter Rudzinski (1.15.48) and Aileen Scott (1.17.13). Other club results weren’t available for the Harriers who ran behind Aileen but another three Harriers also ran.

Also Pamela, Anne and Kath managed to secure third team prize and first veteran team prize so it certainly wasn’t a wasted journey for everyone!

Next races for the Harriers on 29th November are the Dunbartonshire AAA Cross Country (Kirkintilloch) and the Hugh Wilson Memorial 10k (East Kilbride).
