Two Harriers Dave Searil and Chas Steven travelled to Bishopbriggs on Saturday for the Jack Crawford Springburn Cup 10 k race. Fortunately the worst of the days torrential sleat and rain coupled with strong winds were in abeyance for the 2.30 pm start . Parts of the Forth and Clyde canal tow path on which the race is ran were muddy but were insignificant to the seasoned veteran Harriers. Nip and tuck for 7k of the race and in a pack of six runners Dave found a spring in his step at the course turning point and fully deserved his excellent time of 48 minutes and 23 seconds. A sub 50 minute 10 k is now a realistic target for Chas who crossed the finishing line in 50 minutes and 28 seconds ( although missing from the official results).
The race , organised by Springburn Harriers, was once again an excellent event and in the goodie bag was a club pen which was a very nice touch and something we could purchase for our 25 th Anniversary.
