LADIES TO THE FORE AT FALKIRK
On a cold, crisp frosty morning, 10 club members braved the elements to take part in the 71st Falkirk Parkrun at Callander Park.
The female’s outnumbered their male counterparts and it showed in the results with four of them filling the first five places in the women’s category.

Chloe Cox has won 16 Edinburgh Parkruns but on Saturday made her Falkirk debut finishing in 2nd place in 19m 23s, making it a Lothian clean sweep of the first three places was Lana Turnbull who covered the 5k in 21m 24s.
Marking a great day for the ladies Keri Greig crossed the line in 5th place, with her mother Shona in 14th and Bethany Nelson 16th and 2nd JW14.
The clubs first male finisher was Bethany’s dad Scott in 10th, in 20m 06, followed by race debutant Stephen Malcolm in 31st and the evergreen Jim Alexander in 52nd.
