Inveraray half, Quarter and Eighth!

A wee while ago now but the 6th October saw a fantastic turnout for the first Inveraray half, ten km and five km. The route was a straight line course with a turn around point for all competitors along the shores of Loch Fyne. We were joined by several runners from the Mid Argyll group which is always nice. Everyone I think, did themselves proud and ran really well especially the new 5kmers competing for the first time. The half marathoners had a toughish course with the elevation coming right in the middle and a tarmac finish. Liz and Heather led the way closely followed by Kirsten. Fee and Rhona were not too far behind with an emotional finish for the latter as she finished her first half marathon in a grand time and style. I am so grateful to Alison for being a very welcome face at the turn round point with her gel sweets and water bottles, Fiona was our sweep on her bike and did a fab job. Huge thanks to Julie Anne and the Christmas Dove for their extremely generous sponsorship.
