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!

Set within the picturesque grounds of Strathallan School at Forgandenny, near Bridge of Earn, the race consists of 2 scenic laps of undulating terrain, on a road which is virtually traffic free at this time of day. The race is signposted and marshalled. There is ample parking space at the School. Adjacent to the start line, the changing facilities are first class with warm showers. Baking will kindly be provided by Carnegie Members themselves, with tea and coffee also available. The usual post-race chat takes place around the Art School. Tommy Lawrence will bring up his tent and offer massage. Prizes are presented shortly after the race, with rewards for the 1st three males, 1st three females, 1st male vet, 1st male supervet and 1st female vet and first female supervet.

Entry fees and donations will be given to C.H.A.S., GET KIDS GOING and CANCER RESEARCH. A sponsorship form will be sent with your entry acknowledgement though there is no obligation.

The race usually attracts local Club runners and although it is still a small gathering, competition at the top of the field is fierce, with names such as Chris ROBISON featuring amongst the all time winners.
