Scottish National Cross Country Championships
26 Feb 2019First Harrier home at one of the biggest events in the Scottish racing calendar at the National Cross Country Championships in Falkirk was Andy Aitken in a time of 47.55 for the 10.6k course, followed by Andrew Brown (52.16) and Gordon Morrison (56.11). The race was won by Adam Craig of Inverclyde AC in a zippy 33.50.
Kerry takes second place at the Devilla Forest 5k with an excellent 20.08, and Lauren leads the way for the Harriers in the longer 15k.
Rhian Evans ran the prestigious Carnethy 5 hill race in the Pentlands and completed in an excellent time of 1:20:05 (243rd), given the very blustery conditions.
Runners of all ages and levels of fitness are welcome at our club training and club runs on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays with some seasonal variation.
Whether you are local or a visitor to the area, a competitive runner or social jogger, if you like to run, why not come along and join in?
We have a lively and active Junior Harriers section, open to all between the ages of 9 and 16. Juniors meet on 5.30pm on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Taylor Park in Crieff.
With Strathearn Harriers you can run on roads, trails, hills and cross-country, as well as taking part in races locally and elsewhere.
The Club organises three races. In June, we host The Strathearn Marathon, a rewarding marathon in a beautiful Perthshire setting, which is rapidly becoming a firm favourite on the Scottish marathon circuit.
In July we hit the trails to the west of Crieff for one of Scotland's most enjoyable and scenic 10ks. Full race information and online entry here for The Crieff 10k.
And in September, we organise a great hill relay race in the hills above Comrie - full race information here for the Simon Wake Comrie Hills Relay.
