Saturday 12th October was an amazing day for Good Morning Runners as we had 3 (3!!!!) runners qualify for Scottish Vets to race against N.Ireland, Ireland, wales and England in Belfast on 16th November. The trials race was held at Tollcross Park.

Robert Donachie in his first ever XC race, and first race in excess of 5k, had a very strong and well paced run to grab a Scotland vest.

Fiona Matheson continues to show her class and also qualified, along with her husband

Grant. This couple continue to impress me with their consistent smooth performances.

I’m sure we all agree this was a remarkable day for a wee group of morning enthusiasts!

We can’t wait to hear all about your well earned trip to Belfast!

There has been lots of interest in this event through the Google form. Thank you to the athletes who have already entered themselves.
