Saturday night saw the club celebrate with its annual awards night, marking the completion of its 2018-19 championship, and a chance for members to relax and party into the small hours. A selection of highlight pictures below, but plenty more on our social media feeds! We were delighted to have had a bumper attendance, which also reflected a huge number of completers in the championship itself. All members who complete receive a much coveted completion prize, which this year is a long-sleeve club colours racing top. It was a fun evening, and we’re delighted by how well the club has done over the last 12 months, with so many excellent performances, new distances or events being undertaken, brilliant achievements, tally of medals, team pictures and race reports and stories! We’re very excited about the forthcoming championship year, and look forward to our next race! A selection of pictures below, more on our Facebook members group. Thanks to Gordon Goldie for taking the pictures. We’re very grateful to everybody who helped with the event, but a very special thank you, from everybody at the club, for hard work by club Social Secretary, Kevin Queenan.

club championship
A fantastic turnout of 46 club members, with a few past and present club members also volunteering, meant there was a big Bella presence at the 385th Pollok parkrun. After an epic downpour earlier in the morning, there were great conditions for the run itself. Some super performances, including first male (Russell Whittington, 17:14) and female (Ann Robin, 19:40), and an impressive 10 course PB’s too. Bella results below. Full results for the event available on the Pollok parkrun results page. The next event in the club championship is the Girvan Half marathon (10th July). The next short distance event is the Irvine 5 mile road race (17th July).
The Calderglen 10k trail race, the fifth event in the club’s new Hill running championships, took place last night. Despite the midges that descended around the finish area, it was a lovely evening for a run, on a super course. Full results are available on the Calderglen Harriers website. Bella results below, and the Hill running championship standings are available here. A few prizes for the club. Congratulations to: Judith MacGregor who was 3rd F35. Gerry Scullion who was 1st M50. Craig Ross, Gerry Scullion and Richard Leyton, who comprised 3rd male team. Many thanks to the Calderglen Harriers for a well organised event and warm welcome.
