A belated round up of the activities over the festive
period.
Christmas food and
drinks, Tues 4th Dec
There was a good turn out for the Christmas drinks and food on
the first Tuesday in December.
The opportunity was also taken to award the club cup for the
best performer of the year. There were lots of great performances this year which
made it a hard choice but the award went to Amy Alcorn for a excellent debut
time at Edinburgh Marathon of 3:36:33 and then at the Tunnel Run in October and
winning the senior woman’s first prize.

Benjamin Hindley was both the fastest on scratch and caught
the field on the handicap. His time was the course record! Many thanks to Dave
Gaffney who helped me course setting, Pete Hall (timing) and Andy Cox (marshalling
/ photos) and Austen Williams for being a very enthusiastic helper!
Also to Fi Williams for manning the fort for refreshments
and treats (mince pies and mulled wine etc) afterwards and it was a good catch
up afterwards for runners and family.

Annual Boxing Day run to the mast at the top of
Glentress
The annual run to the mast was very well attended with 15 runners burning off that turkey
and then most headed to the Peel café to meet with the juniors who had been
taking part in Gregor’s handicap and ‘refuel’.
New Years Eve run
through Bowbeat Windfarm
The weather was kind although very blowy (well it is a wind
farm!) and the five runners (plus two dogs) taking part in the 13 mile run with 1,800 ft ofclimb were treated to some great views. You can see the route here: https://www.strava.com/activities/2046293497
