Loch Ness Marathon 2013



Over the past few years we’ve had a numbers of Harriers running the Loch Ness Marathon, and this year was no exception. Unfortunately, Danny M wasn’t able to run due to illness, but the other Harriers put in very good efforts.  
Despite now running for Wee County Harriers, Kirsty still has many friends and supporters here in Strathearn, and we were all delighted to hear of her fine run, finishing in 4.28. Kirsty’s on a demanding programme of runs this autumn, having done the Aberfeldy Marathon earlier in September with a PB, and following Loch Ness with the Kirkintilloch half later in the month and the Glen Ogle 33 in November.
Dave G was next home, finishing in 4.42, beating his expected time, so well done Dave. Chris C’s wife Ariane isn’t yet a member of the club but will be press-ganged soon, following her performance of 4.29 in her first marathon, having been paced and supported by Chris all the way round. Representing the section of the club who can still remember when the Beatles were a bunch of brash up-and-coming Scousers, Colin put in a storming performance for the first 20 miles and then slowed down a wee bit. Nevertheless, his final time of 5.20 was a fine effort.
