News Report weekended 19th January

Last Saturday (11^th) was Clydesdale Harrier’s own club race The Hannah Cup. It took place this year in Dalmuir Park instead of the usual Dalmuir Golf Course. A few runners went off course so times were not recorded. The course is going to be used for this Saturday’s Dunbartonshire Cross Country Championships.

On the 5^th January three members of the club travelled down to Preston to run in the Central Lancashire New Year Half Marathon. Fastest harrier was Paul Carroll who had a brilliant run to finish as 2^nd male overall in a time of 1.17.15, followed by 5^th placed male Robert O’Neill (1.19.11), and Marina McCallum (1.35.44).
