The main story in town last week was the Great Scottish Run 😃

Firstly, thankyou to our wonderful volunteers who helped out at the GSR Junior races on Saturday at Glasgow Green 💜 and got some great snaps with the wonderful Eilish McColgan ❤️

Sunday was of course the Great Scottish Run 10k & Half Marathon (HM) and the last day of our 2025/2026 Club Championship🏆 we had 75 members involved in both races 🫡 very well done everyone, including the 20 or so members who recorded Personal Best performances 🎉 so, some highlights....

Ross Horgan set a new PB and **CLUB RECORD** in the HM with an outstanding time of 1:09:57, finishing in 19th position overall 🤩 this record has stood since 2011, and it's a tribute to Ross' ongoing dedication to training that he now holds it 👏 not far behind were Oscar Coetzee (1:12:00) & Paul McNairn (1:13:30 PB) to finish brilliantly as 2nd & 3rd MV40 respectively🥈🥉Murdoch Rodgers also finished in an amazing 2:09:30 for 3rd place MV75🥉👏

Our top three ladies were Amelia Matthews (1:23:41), Kelly Taylor (1:26:10) & Deborah Wright (PB 1:31:19) 🤩 outstanding performances again 👏

We had four Wieland family members running in the HM with Jonathan (PB 1:23:33), Jamie (1:28:50), Shirley (1:55:23) & Emma, in her first HM (1:56:22) 🤩

Well done to Robert Boag 2:15:26 & Christine Milligan 2:16:10 at the Cardiff HM on Sunday too 👏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
