Congratulations to club members, Steve Cairns, Alex Lockwood and Chris Graham, who completed this year’s Loch Ness Marathon. Just a few days after running a 55min 10 mile race, Steve ‘jogged’ around the marathon in a time of 2:52, and as David Coleman would probably have commented, “That is quite remarkable”. Alex posted a superb time of 3:27, …

The majority of North-east parkrun events witnessed an increase in their attendances this weekend, which no doubt was a result of the recent GNR and the buzz still going around the country following the Games.
