Ardoch Rig

24th May Although the weather conditions were fine during the race itself, the heavy showers all day beforehand ensured that the water levels were appropriately raised around the course. Mr Turnbull, the race organiser was positively drooling…

Dunbartonshire Relays-Marshalls Required

The DAAA relays take place at Garscube on Saturday 25th October and once again, Westies are hosting the event along with Glasgow Uni. It's the first race in the winter league, but we also need some help in organising the event, so if you are…

Whangie Whizz 2006

Another successful race. A record field of 151 in the seniors and another dozen in the junior race means that we've probably reached the limit for this event. Certainly the landowner will need some placating before we're allowed to race in 2007.…

Hunters Bog Trot

Beatiful sunshine accompanied by an easterly breeze greeted the competitors at the start by St Margaret's Loch at the foot of the crags. A large convention of Boggies in evidence - this was after all an excuse to celebrate the great man's half-century…

Old Crocks Run in little Stepps!

Oh well, it seemed like a good cop-out from the rigours of the Carbeth trail...3 laps of relatively flat playing-field perimeter, a total course of 4-5 miles and a fun-running entry of well past it old Strathclyde Uni fogeys. How wrong I was...a…
