The Famous Grouse Crieff 10k 2008

This year's Famous Grouse Crieff 10k on Sunday July 13th was another fine event.

The sun was out, the grass was green, bagpipes skirled and at eleven o'clock 254 runners lined up to start the race.

The course was in excellent condition and winner Rob Gilroy of Ron Hill Camsbuslang broke his own course record by finishing in 33.22, spurred on by a fine competitive run from David Morwood of North Belfast Harriers, holidaying in the area, who finished a close second in 33.56. Ian Stewart of Carnegie was third in 36.30.

The other prizewinners were:

Male V40 - 1st Chris Upson of Westies, 2nd Gary Mitchell of Kirkintilloch

Male V50 - 1st Martin Dean of FVO, 2nd Ian Johnston of Carnegie

Women's race overall - 1st Ros Alexander of Carnegie, 2nd Polly Harrison of Central, 3rd Hazel Dean of Central

Women V35 - 1st Frances Maxwell of Calderglen, 2nd Fiona Angus of Perth RR

Women V45 - 1st Ada Stewart of Kirkintilloch, 2nd Sharon Taylor of Bellahouston Harriers

Prizes for local runners went to Derek Phillips of Perth RR and to our own Angela Mackenzie.

The race was ably organised by Alison Beattie, with a multitude of helpers. Thanks also to our main sponsor The Famous Grouse Experience and in particular to a very lively Gilbert the Grouse!
