Only 36 runners this year, hopefully if numbers keep dropping we can get rid of this event once and for all!! don't get me wrong, I love x-country, a good hill run and a bit of rough, this race falls into none of these categories. Ok, moaning aside, looking through the results, I think some runners excelled in these conditions, and some like myself just did'ny get going at'ah! David Rodgers was first home, but not by a big margin, Peter Kennedy was a mere 9 seconds adrift, both runners well clear of the rest of the field. Richard Shaw and John MacRae were both running well and battling for third over most of the first half of the course, rumour was that Richard and Ken had spent weeks clearing a route and hope was spreading that with Richards contacts, he may have decided to go the whole hog and tarmac! Next year eh!
Lyndsay Shaw meantime, had moved ahead of Amanda Blackhall, and they were to stay that way to the finish, with Nicki MacDonald taking third. Well done to everyone who took part, please don't let this put you off running!
