Poor weather in Peterhead in the last month has made training very difficult but there are marathons to be run later in the year. Good to see Alan & Terry in the Nairn results from yesterday. A club results sheet from 2009 should be posted to everyone very soon and all available magazines from the past can be found online (I think!).
25 November 2009
Tide times mean that the Annual Beach Run is later this year - The route is, of course, Peterhead to Fraserburgh and on Sunday 7 February 2010 from Peterhead Golf Club 10 / 11.45am start (Exact time to be confirmed). There will be showers at the Fraserburgh James Ramsay Pavilion at finish; thanks to the Milnes!.
9 October 2009 - John D is back to racing again. He writes 'Through perseverance I have managed to overcome muscle ache and injuries, so a better result for the Kenilworth Half-Marathon. 1-50-41 in 271st place - 464 finishers. In 30 or so years of running, that was my first ever race in England. My perception is that the age profile is somewhat lower than in Scotland.
28 August 2009 - A good day for running our 10k, autumn temperatures and light winds; Alan made a great attempt to retain his title but is struggling with injury. The highest number yet, 149, started the race; Well done, Duncan for the organising! Thank go to lots of others ... cluding Jim & Sandra, Sandra and other Brocher who marshalled and Michael from Buckie ... great to see other clubs helping out ... hope we can return the favour! Neil still managed round in a good time afew days after his 50miler ... what is this man made of?
24 August 2009 - Neil continues to clock up the miles, 50miles at Strathaven in just under 9 hours (they added an extra few hundred yards to the finishing line).
6 August 2009 - Darren has just been telling me about Terry winning the corriyairack challenge ... fanastic achievement ... fired up by the second competitor cutting corners during the run.
3 Aug 2009 - To think that I may have beaten Alan Reid (is 93-07 a PW?) at the Dyce half ... but I pulled my hamstring at Ballater (Yes, I have a muscle there!) ... Good to see John Diffey sprinting for the line with Anne Smith; Neil MacRitchie made up a rare PRC team finishing the event
9 July 2009 - Alan Reid is the only club member to run on the track this year; he has competed at the AAAC club championships at 5000m (17-18.7) and 10000m (35-18.3). 25 laps of a track is not the most interesting pastime! Is there any interest in holding a club championship 5000m at Catto Park this year?
Anyone heard from our Canadian runner, Andrew Greig?
Anyone got results from Longside 10k or Mintlaw 10k?
email me john@peterheadrunningclub.co.uk
20 June 2009 - Good to see John Diffey and Sandy Hastie back to racing this year. John has completed some of the Forest Runs winning his age group at Ben Aigan while Sandy has been completing 5k & 10k races. Ian Duguid won his 5k race at Mintlaw ... he's pretending that this is as far as he is able to run ... what about Neil's 95 mile run!

Peterhead to Fraserburgh Beach Run
2009 - Results
JR at the Jedburgh half marathon in the gales
District relays
Alan Reid ran all four legs and finished 7th overall; he was 4th after the first leg.
Scottish 100k Championships
Alan Reid was third in this race around 42 lap course at the Inches in Perth ... he was the only runner to break 10 minutes for a lap and in fact did this for 11 of the first 16 laps so had a lead of 10min52 sec at 38k (lapping the second runner who eventually won). He had been caught by 50k (3hr 43-17) so did well to complete the run. Neil MacRitchie also complete the course running well at 50k (4hr 47-06) but was outside his 10hr 30min target by the finish (see results page)
Peterhead 10k race
Alan Reid won our 10k race and said he was bored because nobody came to challenge him ... a 100k race is in the plans so he had run over 100 miles already in the week so a little 6 miler would seem short! The weather was hot (17oC) with a light wind. We had 94 runners with quite a few locals ... Ally was our first local.
Well done Duncan (wife & daughter) for all the organising, Peter & Elaine (& family) did great with all the food, and the Mundies with the time keeping. Good to see John D with all the signs and Bruce the farmer helping the tidying up.
