Mike McGovern and Colin
Williams took part in the inaugural ‘Scurry along the Esk’ trail race on Saturday
18th May.
There were two distances
to choice from 10 or 15 mile:
The 10 mile route is a
fast and relatively flat Scurry from the start up from Roslin Glen Country Park
along the beautiful Esk to Penicuik and back with the 15 mile route adding in a
scenic and more adventurous undulating 5 mile trail loop within the Penicuik
estate. The routes are shown below
After a glorious week it
was drizzly for the race but a lovely route none the less, even after the shock
of descending into Roslin Glen and climbing 72 steps out the other side before
you got to the disused railway!
Mike and Colin both had
good runs – Mike was 2nd in 10 miler and 1st M40, while
Colin was 3rd in the 15 mile and first M40 too, although 10 mins
behind the winner! The fields were pretty small as it’s a busy time of the year
with about 40 runners in each distance.
A big thank you to the marshals
out and organisers. It only took 30 mins to get to so maybe one to get on the list
for next year.
