Happy the Caerketton event went ahead as planned on Wednesday evening despite the recent development work at hill-end and other challenges with events taking place in Pentlands! Had a reasonable night weather wise and great turnout of 85 runners for the senior event and 7 at the earlier junior event.
Shame we had to deviate from normal route and hopefully everyone ok with the additional bit added on at the top to compensate for new start. Was informed this added approx. 200m to previous route. Will be interesting to see what impact the ongoing development at hill-end will have over coming year!
In terms of results, looked like a good race in the men’s event with Andy Douglas of Inverclyde just holding off Alistair Thornton of Ochils to win by 4 seconds in a time of 18.11. Felix Wilson of Carnethy made up podium positions. In the women’s event, impressive first place went to 14 year old Emily Atkinson of Haddington. One to watch for future! Next 4 women home were all from home club Carnethy, with Eleanor Johnston, fresh from a Rigby round at weekend (and not a Ramsay round as previously reported!) taking 2nd place and Heidi Ross taking 3rd place. Age category winners were James MacLeod of Garscube and Nicola Dawson of Westies in the V40 age group, Justin Carter of Cambuslang and Fiona Kelsall of Ochils in the V50 age group, Mickey Anderson of Westies and Shiela Strain in the V60 age group and Pat Fitzpatrick of Ochils in the V70 age group.
