Running since 1888
On Saturday the 27th November we had 6 juniors brave the snow to take part in the XC race at Maryhill Park. It was a beautiful sunny day and the snow was only a few inches deep. Under 11 – 1 mile Joseph Divers – 5.51 Under 13 – 2 miles Jack McElroy – 12.54 …
I nipped out to Strathclyde Park on 13th November secretly harbouring aspirations of a season best time for the 5k. Having felt to be running well that week, I was quietly confident that I could pull it off. Sadly, it wasn’t to be. Although I started and remained in 1st place until approx 200m to …
Maryhill had 3 runners at this year’s Tinto Hill Race, Duncan Riddell, Sam Thomson and Fletcher Murdoch. Weather conditions were good, with clear skies, dry and little wind, underfoot the ground was a bit wet but no ice. The race was won by Jethro Lennox of Shettleston Harriers in 32:01. The first woman home was …

The race was won by Chris McKay …
Rising early on Saturday morning, and at that point still unsure as to what training to do that day, I decided to do the Park Run at Strathclyde Park. With the previous Thursday night’s Garscube Estate exertions still very much present in my legs, I thought it wise to choose this event over its more …
Having navigated around the route in the mist last week Sarah and myself had a go at the race for real. The route is 14.7km and has 910m of climbing. The weather conditions were great for running, clear blue skies, not too windy and a bit cold, in fact there was some snow at the …
So, who enjoyed the hills? You can put your hands down now, Duncan. For race 6/52 we made our way down to the sun soaked seaside resort of Helensburgh for the DAAA XCountry Relays. A(nother) fantastic turn out for the club with 2 mens and 2 ladies teams set to take on an unknown course. …
