The Achilles Heel – MacAndrew Road Relay Race 2013
Victoria Park City Of Glasgow is once again hosting the 74th annual MacAndrew Road Relay Race on Saturday the 5th of October 2013 around Jordanhill and Scotstoun.
This year we are breaking with tradition and changing to a New Start Time and New Venue. The race will start from Scotstoun Stadium at 1200 hrs.
Registrations will be accepted on the day on the Club Deck within Scotstoun Stadium, Danes Drive, Glasgow. Athletes should register for the event before 1130 hrs. Registration Forms can be downloaded from www.vp-glasgow.co.uk/mcandrew.htm
The Start line will be on Danes Drive, near to the entrance to the Stadium.
Changing and showers can be accessed within the Stadium. Refreshments will be provided as part of the entry fee on the Club Deck after the race.
Teams of 4 men or 3 women will circuit the three and a quarter mile course. The cost of entry will be £20 for a male team and £16 for a female team.
Vets are 35 years for women and 40 years for men.
A full map of the route can be downloaded from www.vp-glasgow.co.uk/mcandrew.htm
Last years winning team was Victoria Park Glasgow who finished with a combined time of 1:05.28.
Glasgow University Hares and Hounds won the senior women’s race, finishing in a combined time of 59.57. The finishing positions are recorded below.
Just under 100 teams competed for the prizes on offer in 2012. This year we expect to exceed that number.
The Race is held under UKA Cross Country Rules and as such Rule 507 stipulates the youngest athlete should be a 2nd year U20 who turned 17 on or before the 31st August 2013.
Who says we don’t remember past winners, right is a picture of Andy Forbes winning the MacAndrew Relay for Victoria Park in 1951.
£700 in vouchers to be spent at Achilles Heel on Great Western Road, Glasgow, will be awarded in prizes to the winning teams and individuals on the day.
