News Report weekended 30th September

Last weekend was a successful one for Clydesdale Harriers. First up was the George Cummings Road Relays at Houston. We had no less than five teams running with the woman’s team winning first Masters Team. Full results as soon as they become available.

In Inverness there was the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon and 10k. In the marathon John Fox ran well to finish in a time of 3h 34m 15s, followed by Mairi Fox in 4h 43m 31s. In the 10k Martin King ran well to finish in a time of 41.37, followed by Fiona McCue (42.57).

Further afield was the Berlin Marathon where Tricia Stevenson had the race of her life to take a staggering 19 minutes off her marathon time to finish in 3h 58m 0s. This now gives her a qualifying ‘good for age’ time for next year’s Boston Marathon so many congratulations to her!

Next races for the harriers this month include the Neil McCover Memorial Half Marathon in Kirkintilloch (7^th October), the West Districts Cross Country Championships at Kilmarnock (13^th October), Amsterdam Marathon (21^st October), and the National Cross Country Championships at Cumbernauld (27^th October).
