Sport / Runners head back to Dale for more cross country races
THERE was a chance to burn off the Christmas dinners and mince pies at Dale on Sunday as runners of all ages took part in cross country races.
In the senior men’s race Neil Arthur came out top with a time of 22.19.
Murray Todd ended up with a finish time of 23.03 but was in the under 20 mens section due to his age.
Other quick times included Euan Duernberger (23.14) and Ronan Bourke (23.20).
Charlotte Black won the senior women’s race with a time of 25.38, while Lynsey Henderson came second with a time of 28.53 ahead of Monica Moncrieff in third place (29.25).
Both of these events covered a distance of 5,800 metres.
Lily Shucksmith was first in the under nine girls category, with River Sandison winning the boys’ one.
Sarah Cox came first in the girls under 11 category, while Aidan Jamieson topped the list in the under 11 boys.
Fraser Isbister and Grace Manson won the under 13 boys and girls categories, with Isla Duncan (under 15 girls) and Jak Shearer (under 17 boys) also coming first.
The events for children covered distances of 1,200 metres to 5,800 metres.
There was also a cross country event at Dale earlier at the end of November.
