Well done to everyone who took part in this year's series which continued despite the challenging weather conditions.

23/01/10 A Return to Racing

This weekend saw a return to road racing for many Harriers with the Club's Annual 10K Road Race and Sealed Handicap. Congratulations to Neil Robbins and Claire Purdie who won the men and women's road race, and to Monique Duffy who won the sealed handicap taking over 2 minutes out of her PB in the process. Neil has clearly missed racing during the big freeze, making the most of the thaw by running a course best in the Glasgow Park Run earlier the same day. Well done Neil. Well done also to Jim Breen who returned to racing in the same park run event. Full results and photographs of the Club's 10K Road Race can be viewed here.

Well done to both Jim Breen and Neil Robbins who braved the challenging conditions and temperatures to take part in the post christmas Cambuslang race. Due to the dangerous conditions underfoot the road race was changed to a 6.7km XC race across the exceptionally boggy snow-covered rugby pitches. Jim found time to dash home and pick up his spikes before finishing 8th overall and collecting 3rd Vet prize. Neil finished a very respectable 11th overall.

11/12/09 Annual 5K Christmas Handicap

The Hamilton Harriers 5K Christmas Handicap, held last Saturday, was deemed a great success. The Handicap was followed by the annual prize giving ceremony in the Pitz Soccer Academy in Hamilton. Once again the event was well supported, with over 20 members running the race and many more Harriers and family and friends turning out to cheer the runners around the 5K loop.

The handicap was won by David Kelly who ran a strong race to finish in 22 minutes 03 seconds, taking over one full minute off his PB. David finished 19 seconds ahead of Peter Middleton, who held valiantly on to second place. Neil Robbins, who finished third in a time of 17 minutes 35 seconds, clocked the fastest time of the day. During the prize giving ceremony, awards were presented to the winners of the Grand Prix League Series, the 5K Handicap Series, the monthly 5K Handicap races, the Endeavour prizes and the various Club organised races throughout the year. Full results and photographs of both the race and the ceremony can be viewed here .
