Several senior athletes took part in this annual road relay over a 2.7 mile course on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Houston, Renfrewshire.
We fielded both a mens and a womens team with both lead off runners getting their respective teams off to a great start. Barney Phillips was 3rd (13.30) on the first leg in the mens race and Keira Murray was 3rd woman (15.06). There was a solid performance on the second leg from Niall Sheehan who finished 5th (13.52) in the mens race and Wilma Kerr (19.29) kept the women in the top 6. On the third leg for the men with another good performance was John Murray (14.04) who finished 7th. Lorna Rice was the final runner in the womens team with a solid run (20.11) bringing the women home in around 13th place (not easy to identify womens teams from the results).
Unfortunately, the mens team was incomplete as our fourth runner cancelled at the last minute. However, at the end of the third leg we were within 20 seconds of 4th spot so who knows what could have happened. The womens team was complete as it was teams of three.

Thanks to everyone who raced, I hope that you enjoyed it and that we can put together some more teams for similar events.
