New course record in LAC Winter League

Around 60 hardy athletes completed the fourth race in the 10 round Lochaber Athletics Club Winter League recently when taking part in the Cour Loop in the Nevis Range.

Congratulations go to Ross Gollan from East Sutherland Athletics Club on his win and also setting what organisers are pretty sure is a new course record in one hour, five minutes and 14 seconds.

LAC’s Liam Hutson was 2nd with Shaun Cumming (Highland Hill Runners) in 3rd place.

Undefeated

A mention must also go to LAC’s Alan Ross on being fourth overall and 1st Male Veteran 40 - undefeated in his category in the league so far.

HHR women put on another strong performance. Caroline Marwick took the win with

Hanna Ward-Penny in 2nd and LAC’s Georgia White in 3rd.

A good day for running with some PBs and competitive racing right through the categories. Big thanks to the organiser and all the helpers.
