Peter flies the flag in Dubai and China

Perth Road Runner and marathon man Peter Ritchie has been representing the club overseas.

The endurance star took on the flat but hot Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon in a time of 4:57:53.

And he followed up his efforts by running the China Coast Marathon in 5:10:18 to cap off a productive couple of days on the road.

While Peter was flying the flag abroad, green vests were travelling across Scotland in search of personal bests.

Caroline Ness completed the Waterway 30, a 32-mile ultramarathon in the rural countryside of Nottinghamshire. She finished the race in 8:12:13.

The long distance running continued with a team of six runners participating in The Devils Burden. The relay race over 31km consists of four legs.

Lisa Aikman, Rachel Roberts, Dave Sinclair, Daile Sipple, Andy Wilson and Paul Grace made up the team of green vests and completed the race in a time of 4:39:17.

Over in Buchlyvie, four road runners lined up to run the 10km.

Richard Ward was 23rd overall in a time of 41:12 and was followed by Maria Dale - First Vet60 - in 54:46 while Kate Marshall clocked 1:02:04 and Kirsty Johnston 1:09:44.

Club members participated in several parkruns on Saturday with Debbie Jackson running the Linwood Parkrun where she finished 11th female in 25:26.

Druridge Bay Parkrun saw Ruth Johnson crossing their finish line in 26:44 and 14th female.

A little closer to home Caroline Jones tried out the Camperdown Parkrun in Dundee. She was first female to finish in 23:30.

Back home in Perth the road runners were represented by 37 green vests at the local parkrun.

Stuart Robertson was first home for the club and second overall in 17:37, quickly followed by David Knight in 17:40. Martin McEwen was the third road runner in 19:36.

For the females, it was Laurie Carruthers who crossed the line first and fourth female overall in 24:19. Gillian Edwards was next in 25:21 followed by Catriona Liddell in 25:28.

On Sunday, Fiona Morrison and Robin Wombill travelled down to the border to take part in the X Border 10k.

As the name suggests, the race takes the runners across the England and Scotland border. Fiona finished the race in 1:13:31 followed by Robin in 1:14:18.

Also on Sunday seven members of the club took part in the second of the Skull Mountain Series - a cold and muddy four-mile race.

Neil Muir was the first road runner home in 30:11 followed by Stewart Reid in 32:01 and Stewart Dallas in 35:03.

Stephane Reid was next in 37:03, Catriona Liddell in 37:53, Bryan Jenkins in 39:50 and Stephanie Boyd in 42:54.

The club’s presentation night is on Saturday, February 10 at The Royal George Hotel and the annual Wee Winter Run is on Sunday, February 11.
