CAMBUSLANG ATHLETES COMPETE OVER VARYING SURFACES IN JULY
Over the last few weeks members of Cambuslang Harriers have competed on road, track, hills and trail as well as participating in triathlon and aquathon events. 10 club athletes lined up for the midweek Scottish Veterans 5K Road Race at Clydebank. First Cambuslang runner home was M35 Steven Fitzpatrick in a time of 16.05 which was only 10 seconds outside his pb.

CLUB WITH NO TRACK BREAK THE 11 YEARS OLD SCOTTISH SENIOR 800M TRACK RELAY RECORD
Unfortunately Cambuslang Harriers do not have a track in Cambuslang or Rutherglen and have to travel to either Crownpoint in Glasgow or to East Kilbride to fit in track sessions. However, this did not deter Chris McLew, Gavin Smith and Jamie MacKinnon from breaking the 11 years old Scottish Senior 3 x 800M Relay Record held by a Giffnock North team which included the current European silver medallist Neil Gourley. The Cambuslang trio knocked over 2 seconds from the previous national record and over 13 seconds from the existing club record set in 1997 by Graeme Ferguson, David MacRae and […]

THE SCOTTISH MEDAL HAUL FOR CAMBUSLANG HARRIERS CONTINUES
The Scottish 10K Road Championships was incorporated for the first time into the Babcock Shettleston 10K Event staged over a 2 lap course in Glasgow Green. 18 Cambuslang members toed the starting line in expectation of some good individual and team performances and they were not disappointed in this respect. At the post race presentation 4 national individual and 2 team medals were awarded to club members. Club secretary Dave Thom continued his current purple patch to come home first in the M60 age group and club president Des Dickson showed a return to form in taking the silver medal […]
ROAD, TRACK, HILL AND DUATHLON SUCCESSES FOR CAMBUSLANG ATHLETES
Over the last few weeks members of Cambuslang Harriers have performed with distinction in road, track, hill and duathlon events. The London Marathon attracts not only elite, club and fun runners but also those wishing to raise funds for their own particular charity. Nine Cambuslang members were participating this year in the event. Scottish Half Marathon Champion Fraser Stewart had been given the honour of an elite entry and he fully justified the offer he was given by setting a pb of 2.18.34 and finishing 3rd Scottish runner. This gained him an individual Scottish bronze medal in the incorporated Scottish […]

Cambuslang Harriers male and female senior teams made a spectacular start to the month of April when medalling in the 59th Tom Scott Memorial Road Race which also incorporated the Scottish 10 miles Road Championships. Fraser Stewart, Mike Christoforou and Ryan Thomson in 2nd, 4th and 6th positions were comfortable winners ahead of a strong Moray Road Runners team while Lesley Blackwood, Nathalie Brohan and Kirsty O’Brien pipped Giffnock AC on countback for the bronze medals.

A REWARDING MONTH FOR CAMBUSLANG HARRIERS
The month of March has been a fruitful one for Cambuslang Harriers.

Jonathan Dow who is working his way back to full fitness was only 15 seconds behind Finlay and Zach. New member Logan Morrison split his team mates Rory Barclay and Jack Gillon to help the U13 boys to 4th place in the team event. Logan Emmott-Sinclair and Flynn Osbourne also made their club debut in the same age group. The U15 […]

CAMBUSLANG HARRIERS UNDER 17 MEN AND SENIOR MEN LIFT SCOTTISH CROSS COUNTRY TEAM BRONZE MEDALS
The Scottish Cross Country Championships at Falkirk were blessed this year with dry weather which made running conditions more favourable for the athletes apart from a few who revel in the glorious mud. Cambuslang Harriers came away with 2 team bronze medals courtesy of the U17 men and the senior men and the senior women achieved their best finishing position ever taking 6th spot. The U17 quartet of Sam McCarthy, Finlay Robb, Chris Black and Zach Seenan packed tightly as a group with only 19 seconds between them which was sufficient to repeat the team bronze performance of 2019. Jonathan […]
