On the 1st September a number of the road runners headed up to Elgin to race over the various distances on offer. There was a 10k, 1/2 marathon and marathon all available and there were Pitreavie AAC athletes racing in each.

On the start line for the marathon, Avril O'Donnell, Alan Forbes and Donald Macleod were ready for the 26.2 miles and they headed off at 9:30am. Leaving Elgin out towards Burghead then along to Lossiemouth before heading back to Elgin.

Once they had started Owain Williams got on the bus provided by the organisers and headed out to the start line of the half marathon which was also a Scottish Athletics' Championship race.

The half and 10k both started at 11am.

The weather wasn't ideal for any of the distances, with a strong head wind for the final 3 miles and driving rain passing through during all of the races, however, even with the conditions everyone gave it their best efforts.

Avril completed the marathon in 3:54.18, Alan finished just behind with a season's best in 3:55.12 and Donald got a new personal best with a time of 4:27.21

Owain ran a season's best for the half marathon in 1:25.20 and Mandy also got a season's best for the 10k in 1:05.54

All enjoyed the races and would like to thank the organisers for a great day.
