Moorfoot Runners Beltane 10K Trail Race 2011

H - B - T !!! Steve Cairns in  full flight at the finish...

A slightly soggier affair than previous years, but the muddy bits did not seem to deter almost 100 runners in the main 10K trail race, who all completed the course before the real rain started in the afternoon.

Steve Cairns was again 'untouchable' with a fine performance ( 35:19) to take this year's honours, and in doing so actually taking 50 secs off his previous trail race time and setting a new course record...

Local running legend Susan Ridley had some 'young pretenders' on her heels but was again too strong for the challengers, coming home first lady in 41:26 and another course record....

Moorfoots won the first male team (Mike McG, Darin, Ian Munro), and also picked up the first ladies team (Scout, Carol Moss, Alex Campbell), so a great day all round for the Moorfoots.

The Junior 3K and Fun Run races were also a hit - this year, for the first time we split the race into 'mini juniors' and 'big yin juniors', although we had many mini's who wanted to run the full 3K distance.
More than forty runners participated with Moorfoot Jacob Adkin comfortably winning first 'big yin junior' boy and fellow Moorfoot  Mairi Wallace taking the 'big yin junior' girl prize.

A big thank you to all the runners who took part.....

Another big thank you to all the helpers on the day without whom hosting this event would not be possible.
We have received many complements from runners on how much they enjoyed the race and how well looked after they were....

Right, now to getting the Moorfoot Gazeebo dried out....
