On Saturday 23rd December David MILNE was north of the border taking part in the Elgin Parkrun. David, who was on the shortlist for the Athlete of Year Award, was 1st home in an excellent 16.43.
Down at Druridge Bay a huge number of Harriers were in action, with some acting as pacers to help other runners hopefully get round in pbs. First home in 3rd place was Steve CARRAGHER, whilst 2nd back and winner of the female race was Rachelle FALLOON. Rachelle ran the 5th quickest time of the year by a female at Druridge Bay by clocking 19.26. Dom HARRIS was a 20 minute pacer, and was 3rd home in 19.57, whilst John CUTHBERT was next rounding off a fabulous year with yet another course pb. Also of note Carole PAGE was 2nd female finisher, whilst Junior Harriers James CARRAHGER and Harris HALL also performed very well.
