Press Report week ending 22nd March

The weekend of the 14^th was a successful one for the Clydesdale Harriers. First was the Clydesdale Harriers Dunky Wright 5k which started in the Business Park and finished on the Forth and Clyde Canal. Usually a fast, flat course but fast times were unfortunately hindered by extremely strong winds which slowed the runners down somewhat. First Clydesdale home and running a personal best in the process was Iain Robertson (17.39), followed by Pamela McCrossan (19.58), Pete Cartwright (20.58), Marina McCallum (21.21), Alan Lorimer (21.35), Tom Collins (21.45), Karen McPhail (25.56) and Donald MacLeod (34.45). Pamela was also the winner of first veteran and Pamela, Marina and Karen were winners of first female team.

The other race that weekend was the ultra race the Glasgow-Edinburgh Race. Two Clydesdales were running and eventually because they were running similar paces kept together to finish equal 12^th place. Runners were Aileen Scott and Peter Halpin both with a time of 9h 48m 43s.

Next race for the Harriers is the Jim Dingwall Memorial Race (Round the Houses 10k) in Grangemouth on Sunday.
