Simon had his race number pinned to his Carnegie vest when 45 minutes before the race start he was asked by the Scottish team manager to represent Scotland in the Home International.

Carnegie ladies also enjoyed team success finishing 2nd club overall in the Scottish Championships.

Sunday 13th June – Carnegie Harriers Running Club Picnic in the Park

As you will all be aware the Dunfermline Half Marathon takes place at 11am on Sunday 13th June from Pittencrieff Park, Dunfermline with loads of Carnegie members expected to take part.  Hopefully the sun will be shining and it is planned to have a ‘Picnic in the Park’ after the race on the main lawn in front of the Glen Pavillion.  The area where we plan to meet will be easily recognisable as the club flag will be placed there.  Hopefully all those taking part in the race along with friends and family will be able to come along and enjoy some picnic food, coffee and cakes after the run.

Saturday 5th June - Strathallan 5 Mile Road Race
Strathallan success for Mike Carroll and Gillian Carr
The 11th edition of the Strathallan 5 mile Road Race saw 99 entries and 82 finishers. Many Club members were tackling the undulating and scenic course for the first time and swore to return. The air was warm but a most welcome breeze was there to cool down the athletes in their effort. The numerous spectators were certainly in favour of such a clement weather.Mike Carroll of Perth Road Runners excelled and won the race in 26.12. Carnegie’s Scott Bradley came a strong second overall in 27.33 and club mate Tommy Lawrence finished a close third in 27.47. The first three ladies finished inside the same minute with Corstorphine’s Gillian Carr winning in 32.02. Judith Turner in Carnegie colours secured the second place in 32.20 and Siobhan Culleton, who joined Carnegie after an impressive 4th place at last Wednesday’s Auld Toun 10K, finished third in 32.38.

Carnegie Harriers did not fail to feature in the category prize list with Iain Taylor (4th overall) winning the M40 award in 29.19. Bryce Aitken representing Fife AC finished 1st M50 in 30.12 and Robin Scott (unattached) was first M60 in 33.31. Gail Murdoch was the leading F40 in a time of 34.02 and Carnegie team mate Isobel Burnett’s strong run gained her the F50 award as she completed the course in 35.34. Sheila Bauchop (Scottish Veteran Harriers) won the F60 award in a time of 42.00. Congratulations to Scott Smith (unattached) who was the winning U20 runner in 36.04.

Once again the food buffet look magnificent as many athletes and spouses had been busy baking or purchasing what we all crave for at the end of a hard run. John Fulham’s watermelon went down treat on such a warm summer’s evening and everyone found something to satisfy taste buds and appetite. I am very grateful to everyone’s baking talent and generosity of food and/or donation. Run & Become of Edinburgh have also contributed to the success of this fund raising event by donating the shop vouchers as prizes. Last year a total of £870 was raised for C.H.A.S., Cancer Research and Get Kids Going!. I anticipate that a similar amount will have been raised on Saturday.

Many thanks to everyone who took part and assisted with the race organisation who made the event another great success.
