Many thanks to everyone that came along on Friday night to take part and to support. Calderglen Harriers really appreciate your company on the night and look forward to seeing you all again next year.
I also have to thank our corporate support without them we couldn't put the events on to the level we do. Calderglen Park Management for allowing us to hold the events in the park, Run4it for providing prize vouchers, numbers and spot prizes in the goody bags. EKGTA and EKES for financial support. Lidl for the Bananas, Costco for the water and Tunnocks for the Caramel logs.
Finally the people that make it all happen on the night those that do the registration the results service, manage the finish area, give out goody bags and those that point you in the right direction the marshalls. Special thanks to Eddie for doing probably the most stressfull job of the night organising the marshalls and moving them about to the right place for the different races.
Lets do it all again on 26th June 2015

Where can we view the race photos from the night please? Thank you
Hi Francesca,
Unfortunately we did not have a club member taking photos this year. There probably were some keen amateur photographers there taking photos, such as Kenny Phillips who attends most of the races and posts his race albums on Facebook. Sorry I can't be of more help.
