Our latest Let's Go Linlithgow Jogscotland group completed the 5-to-10K course this past Friday. Well done to everyone involved.
On Sunday, Karen Outram, Jennifer Newton and Martin Maginnis joined the 400 runners at the Balloch to Clydebank Half Marathon - one of the few road races to not be affected by the Coronavirus. The route started at Loch Lomond Shores in Balloch and took runners on a mixture of riverside paths, cycle tracks, open road with road works thrown in to add a few obstacles on the way to the finish line at Clydebank. The added incentive of a free Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer at the finish made for a fast race. Martin got his wafer first in 01:25:42 (22nd M40), followed by Karen Outram in 01:44:44 (20th F40) and then Jennifer Newton in 01:55:19 (11th F50). All 3 devoured their wafers (unconfirmed).
At parkun, the Club had 10 runners at 6 different venues across Scotland and England. Clearly, recent events provided extra motivation to try a new venue before further restrictions were put in place on large gatherings. There were new venues for Scott Cumming (Lanark Moor parkrun), Ian Fyfe, David Main-Reade, Alison Marven (all at Agnew parkrun) and Jill Horsburgh (Wallaceneuk parkrun). Jill also managed 6th female and to knock almost 4.5 minutes off the age grade record. Roddy Simpson also helped marshal at Falkirk.
