7th counting event of the 2007 Road Running Grand Prix
Assisted by CARNEGIE HARRIERS
SATURDAY 2nd June at 7pm – Forgandenny, near Perth
Would you believe, there are still club members who have omitted to come and sample the unique atmosphere of this event. On the other hand, there are absolute addicts who have been known to race and rush back from a distant, long and taxing hill race in order to make it to Strathallan that same day, in spite of blood pouring out of wounds inherited in the peaks a few hours earlier…not just because they wanted to collect their Road Running Grand Prix points!
