Cambuslang Senior And Masters Men Retain Their West District Cross Country Championships Titles
This year’s West District Cross Country Championships were held on a hilly Balloch course made even more challenging by the persistent rain which poured down on the runners thus making the course slippery in places. All who ran and all coaches and supporters in attendance deserve a medal for braving the monsoon elements. The Cambuslang senior and masters men along with the under 17 men were certainly in the medals. The senior men lifted their 3rd successive team title, the masters men their 5th successive team gold and the U17 men gained their 4th team silver in a row. The […]

There were races for the under 15 boys and girls, under 17 men and women, the under 20, senior and masters women and the same age groups for the men. Competition in all age groups was fierce and medals were hard to come by. However, M40 Ben Hukins managed to pick up the bronze medal in his age group in a gutsy late sprint to the line.

Cambuslang Harriers At Home And Abroad
Cambuslang Harriers had a good representation at the Scottish Masters Cross Country Trial for the forthcoming British and Irish Masters Cross Country International.

Athlete selection for the various Scottish age group teams is based partly on performance in the trial race and also on results in other recent events.
