There was a fabulous turnout of 79 Bellas at the Great Scottish Run events today. 49 took part in the Half Marathon, 10 were in action in the 10k and a further 20 volunteered to marshal the start. Conditions were ideal for running and there were a number of big PB’s. The Half marks the last race in the Club championship for this year. Well done to everyone who took part and a big thank you for all the support.
There was “Sunshine on LeithMusselburgh” last Sunday for the second ever Scottish Half Marathon, and the penultimate race in the Club Championship. Nine Bellas took part and earned themselves possibly the biggest race medal ever created. After spending some time scouring the provisional results, the times are shown below. Well done to everyone who took part. Do let us know if we’ve missed anyone or you need a PB trophy added. Full results will appear on http://www.runbritainrankings.com after a week or so.

Well done to all the Bellas who took part in the Kilmacolm Running Festival on Sunday. In the Half Marathon, a race in the CLub Championship, Alex was 1st Senior Female and Carla was 2nd Senior female. In the 10k Debs was 2nd female vet and 2nd female overall. Let us know if you’re missing a PB trophy icon. Note that as this race did not have a UKA licence or TRA permit, the results will not appear on Powerof10 or RunBritainRankings Full results available to download from here: Inverclyde Leisure – Kilmacolm Running Festival 2015
Sunday 13th September 2015 must be one of the busiest days of the year for athletics, with a cornucopia of races organised. The Round Cumbrae 10 mile race, a new 7 mile trail race in Helensburgh and the opportunity to run with Mo Farah (and a few others) in the Great North Run were all on offer today. Even the Bellahouston Road Runners Club Championship schedule had a choice of the Kilmacolm Half marathon or the Stirling 10k to choose from. Weather forecasts earlier in the week had us expecting hail and wintery showers this morning, but with barely a cloud in the sky, and the sun shining it felt more like July than September. 15 Bellas were running in Stirling and there were a number of big PBs. Well done everyone and thanks to those who came to support. Full results here: Sportssystems – Stirling 10k 2015 Photos: Helen Craig and Garry Porch

11 Bellas took the trip down the coast to Girvan for this Club Championship Half Marathon today. The race was well organised and marshalled so a big thank you to Girvan Athletic Club for putting this on. It was a productive afternoon with Bruce Carmichael and Debs Gray 1st Male and 1st Female respectively and the ladies team prize went to Debs, Hayley McCrorie and Maree Shepherd. Congratulations and well done team! Well done to everyone who took part and congratulations to those who PB’d on a challenging course. Results below:

Hosted by neighbours Bellahouston Harriers, last Friday was the Brian Goodwin memorial 10k at Cartha Rugby Club. The course is two laps of Pollok park followed by beer and a burger at the finish. This Club Championship race is usually very popular and this year was no exception with a good turn out from the Club. Well done to everyone who took part and thanks to the Harriers for a well organised race. Bella results below: Photo by Rose McRobert
The third Polaroid Series 10K of 2015 took place last night with 32 Bellahouston Road Runners taking part. Russell took 2nd place V40 and Tom was 3rd V60. Once again there were a clutch of PBs. Well done to everyone who ran, and a big thank you to the “travelling support” shouting encouragement on the way round.

At the start of the week, a glance at the 5 day weather forecast suggested that the weather would have the final word on the 30th running of the Troon 10k. High winds and heavy rain don’t fill you with any sort of enthusiasm for being outside, much less dashing about in shorts. Thankfully though the weather forecast gradually improved over the week, and Wednesday evening was with cool and dry, if still a little windy. Not ideal, but certainly better than feared. The event proved immensely popular: sold out within a week of accepting entries. So despite being a championship event, only three Bellas got through. Results show 933 finishers, so a big field. A mixed bag for the Bella results: Rose was pleased with a solid 44:39, just a minute behind her 10k PB.Shona’s a regular participant at Troon, but didn’t feel too good on the day, so was pleased to get around and finish with a sub-45 time of 44:46. I somehow managed to take a full minute off my 10k PB at my first outing at Troon, finishing in 42:25. I fear I’ve been talking about it to anybody who’ll listen (and one or two folks who feigned disinterest…). A particular mention required for the Troon Tortoises who organised the event. Whilst it was my first time running this event, I was hugely impressed with the event, the course, the goodies at the end, but particularly the marshalling. A phased start was honoured by participants and worked, and friendly, supportive and effective marshal out on the course directing runners and traffic. The nice weather ensured a good turnout from the town too, so lots of high-fives to the children, and plenty of cheers on the return leg through the town. All in all, fantastic stuff and a great evening. I can see how this event’s proved popular over the years, and look forward to giving it a bash again in future years. Well done Troon for putting on a superb event, and to everybody who took part. Richard Photo by Richard Webb cc-by-sa
