Harriers have a field day at Scots trail race

Members of Cambuslang Harriers had a very successful day at the Scottish Trail Race Championships.

Conditions were warm and dry for the very undulating and testing course at the Falkland Estate in Fife on Saturday, September 2.

The senior/masters male quartet of Ben Hukins, Alasdair Campbell, Robert Gilroy and Kevan Harvey in fourth, fifth, sixth and 10th place packed well to claim victory from Inverness Harriers and Hunters Bog Trotters.

The club maintained its monopoly of the men’s team title having now recorded five consecutive victories since the inception of this race in 2013.

Robert lifting the over-40 masters men’s title was a further boost for the club but Justin Carter, who was next home for the club, narrowly missed out on the over-40 masters bronze medal.

The senior and masters women competed in the same gruelling 10K race as the men and did the club proud by securing team bronze.
