SUCCESS FOR HOSTS AT DECHMONT LAW

Lothian Running Club hosted a successful 10k Trail Race at Dechmont Law on Sunday.
And it was the blue vests of the hosts that marched off with the lions share of the prizes with wins in both the men’s and women’s individual races, the women’s team event as well as a number of category wins.

In the Junior 3.5km race Robbie Kennedy finished runner up, Iain Horsburgh was 7th overall and 3rd in the under-15 age group. In the girls race Bethany Nelson finished 9th oveall and 1st under-15 with Cara McCafferty 11th and 1st under-17.
