Scottish Athletics & JogScotland Annual Awards: Group of the Year!

The 4J Studios scottishathletics and jogscotland Annual Awards 2021 were presented at the Glasgow Hilton on 9 October 2021, with host Bryan Burnett and Guest of Honour, five-time Olympian, Jo Pavey MBE. The club’s own jogscotland group, Let’s Go Linlithgow (LGL), was shortlisted in the ‘Group of the Year’ category…

LGL celebrated its third anniversary this year and in that time it has grown from a single jog leader running one session a week, to having 15 jog leaders leading five sessions a week. The group is now very much part of the club, offering joggers (and the wider community) the opportunity to attend paced 5k runs, beginner track sessions, and has helped grow the club membership, provided pacers and new coaches to the club.

For the 3rd year in a row the Club was shortlisted but this time we won! Club President, Angus Gallie, was delighted to pick up the award on behalf of LGL and the Club. Special mention also to Lorna Simpson who started the group and without her hard work and dedication, the group may not have existed. A proud moment for all involved.
