Read about the latest challenge thrown down to Deeside Runner members at the Annual dinner. Click here for more details.
The annual 'longest night' run to the summit of Morven is on Monday 21 December starting at 7pm. Meet at the car park at Groddie with headtorch, (and back-up), warm clothes and some food for the summit - and a wee warming something to drink!
78 runners turned up for the inaugural race around the loch on Saturday Oct 24th. The rain mostly held off but conditions were very wet and slippy. Alan Reid put in a stron start but Robbie Simpson (Deeside Runners) took the lead once on the rough stuff and stayed in front for the remainder of the race winning in 36.22. Home club Deeside Runners scored well in the Women's race with Ruth Mackenzie winning in 45.54. Thanks to Peter Henry for organising what looks set to be a popular race.
With one race to go Donald is sitting in third place with Ruth first woman.
Tuesday training is around Aboyne. Meet at the Community Centre car park for a 6.45 start.
High drama at Morven with first and second in both male and female both seperated by only 1 second. Veronique Oldham clinching first female and Dan Whitehead winning male. The male team was one by Cosmics with Deeside Runners winning the female team.
23 competitors started but quite a few dropped out with various problems including alot of mechanicals on the bike.
Provisional results can be found here http://deesiderunners.com/dp/node/4559
Results will be tidied up and hopefully some splits added later in the week.
Can you run up Craig Leek and Meall Gorm, then cycle toward Cullarden for 21 k and then run up Meal Alvie?
