The Famous Grouse Crieff 10k

I went off on hols immediately after the 10k last Sunday, so this is the first opportunity to give it some brief blog coverage.

There were 240 entries, encouragingly up on last year's 217, and 223 finishers. First home in 34.18 was last year's winner and course record holder Robert Gilroy. Sandra Brett of Dumfries was first woman in 42.12.

Nine Harriers ran, with Digby and Angela picking up the prizes for first local man and woman. Digby ran a particularly impressive 38.40.

The weather was great, Gilbert the Famous Grouse really got into the spirit of things, and informal feedback on the day from the runners was that the club had managed to provide another very enjoyable experience. Thanks to all who contributed, particularly to Club Secretary Liz Mestecky for all her hard work.

Club photographers, please send your pics of the event to info@strathearnharriers.org.uk - I was hunched over a hot laptop and didn't have a chance to capture any of the day on camera.

Extra: See Brad's photos of the day below!

Well done to all (but Liz in particular) for such a cracking event! I was a bit gutted not to run on such a fantastic day but it was important to have enough helpers so things ran smoothly. Maybe we could have a more formal rota so that we run one year and help the next (hopefully even Liz could compete next time round?!)
