Milnathort Dash, 23 June

For the eighth race in the club championship, eight Harriers made it to the Milnathort Dash. The Dash is a 5.5 mile race on minor roads through pleasant farmland to the north-east of Milnathort, near Kinross. This is the first year the race has been included in the club championship, so it was an unknown quantity for all the Harriers.

Once again, Will was first Harrier home, finishing fourth overall. Angela was second Harrier, finishing 27th overall and fourth woman. Kerry and I weren’t far behind Angela, followed by Gordon, Cathy, Nicola and Ali. In addition to the quality of the racing, this was an outstanding event made memorable by the quantity and quality of the after-race spread – heaps upon heaps of cakes, sandwiches, sausage rolls and assorted post-race scoff. Definitely one for next year!

Not surprisingly, this result cemented Will’s lead in the club championship. The women’s championship was a different story, with just one point out of 80 separating Kerry and Angela, making the results of the final two races very interesting!
