The current standings for this year’s club championships have been updated following yesterday’s East District Championships in Dundee. With two (or 3) races left things are likely to turn around substantially as more people complete the required 3 races.

A trio of LRC members contested the Seven Reservoirs Multi Terrain Half Marathon on Sunday
The challenging route within the Pentland Hills Regional Park starts and finishes on the shore of Threipmuir reservoir, and also takes in the reservoirs of Loganlea, Glencorse, Bonaly, Torduff, Clubbiedean and Harlaw.
Brian Reid was the first of the club runners to cross the finish line in 1 hour 44 minutes and 56 seconds to place 24th overall 2nd MV50. Just two places and 61 seconds behind followed Mike Lieberman in 26th and the victor in the MV60 category in 1h 45m 47s.
Completing the club representation was Finlay Slane who was 48th of the 98 finishers in 1h 51m 49s, Finlay was 6th MV50.

Thanks for all your feedback on the 2013 championships. There are still some prizes to be collected so please contact me if you’ve not received your prize.
I’ve now updated the 2014 Club Championship pages (see Events & Results tab above) with next year’s rules and races.
Junior Championships:
This remains a completion award for juniors finishing 3 or more races from March to September. Race examples could be JSB plumbing league, Dechmont Law Fun Run etc. More detail on the Junior Championship drop-down at the Events & Results tab above.
Senior Championships:
No major rule changes, so it remains 5 designated races for seniors to complete the championship. Points will continue to be allocated for males and females with winners in each age category.
Designated races are included in the relative tab with more detail but for info, here’s the list below (subject to race directors confirming they’re happy to be included).
1) Alloa Half Marathon; 2) National Road Relays; 3) Hunter’s Bog Trot; 4) Scottish 5k Championship; 5) Riggs Race; 6) Dechmont Law 10k; 7) Black Rock 5; 8) Mile Relays; 9) Donkey Brae; 10) Caerketton Hill Race; 11) Murieston Trail Race; 12) Linlithgow 10k; 13) Stirling 10k; 14) Falkirk Parkrun; 15) Edinburgh Parkrun; 16) Any Marathon
Hopefully this will generate participation, competition and even more finishers. There’s a relatively even spread throughout the year, March to September, and something for everyone with hilly trail races, fast 10ks and a couple of easier hill races.
Enjoy!
We’re always looking for volunteers who are willing to give up a little time to help out at Cross Country races, in particular the SA Championships and East District League events. It’s not an arduous or difficult task, and is typically shared between 2 people – mostly just manning the club tent, and ensuring everyone is registered, gets their number, and knows when their race is.
