Perfect weather greeted the hundreds of masters runners who descended on Tollcross Park from all over Scotland (and further afield) today. The Harriers had a relatively small contingent with a few last minute call offs and indeed Kenny Leinster failing a fitness test after the warm-up as his knee injury became aggravated. The course was the usual undulating but firm 2km circuit of Tollcross Park but with an extra down and up zig zag added to the hill at the end of each lap to increase the length of the lap as this course has traditionally been quite a bit short. This change to the course also meant an uphill finish which resulted in some interesting sprints for the line.
Frances Ferguson was our solo representative in the F40+ and M65+ 6km race and ran very consistent laps to finish in 31:40 and 13th F55. The M40's to M60's had 4 laps of the course to contend with and the age groups soon became well strung out over the first lap. Both Harriers were in the M55 category with Gordon McInally and Russell Couper finishing in 45:56 and 48:47 respectively. Well done both.
Thanks to Jason Grant and family for their vocal support of the Harriers which was much appreciated.
