Carfremill to Gifford
We have been invited to join HELP in their annual Carfremill to Gifford run on Wedmesday 15th August.
For those of you who haven’t yet done this …. WHY NOT?? It’s a fantastic run regardless of the weather.
It’s the usual drill …….be at Gifford for about 1815 ish for bus to leave at 1830. Then it’s a simple 10 mile straight run back. And remember – “it’s NOT a race”!!
Let Stuart or Anne know if you intend coming along and if you want to go for the meal afterwards.

Comrie Hills Relay
Just a short message to invite you and your club to enter one or more
teams for the 2012 Simon Wake Comrie Hills Relay on Sunday 9th
September.
As you may know, the race is a 42k relay with 2,110m of ascent, run in
four stages for teams of five runners. It starts and finishes in
Comrie village in Perthshire and follows a highly scenic route up and
around the hills surrounding Glen Lednock. Legs 2 and 3 cover rough
mountain terrain, while Legs 1 and 4, although challenging, are closer
to trail races.
The proceeds from the race go to support research into pancreatic
cancer, the disease from which our friend and club mate Simon died
tragically in 2008. Last year 32 teams took part in a great day of
racing despite some wild weather. We can't guarantee sunshine for 2012
but we can offer
° category and leg prizes
° a barbecue after the race (included in the team entry fee)
° what we hope will again be a very enjoyable and competitive race.
Full race information and entry form can be found at
http://www.strathearnharriers.org.uk/comriehillsrelayrace.htm
For any questions or more information about the race, please contact
me at info@strathearnharriers.org.uk.
