MANDY’S TRIAL!

I finally get to share a secret with you!

On Saturday 4th October, the incredible Mandy Scott, will be taking part in the "Scottish veteran harriers club team trial for the British & Irish masters XC champs 2025"!

Mandy is a brilliantly talented runner and dedicated member of our coaching team. Anyone keeping an eye on the club championship standings knows she is an incredible force within the club.

Mandy will run a 6km cross country course at 12pm on the day, in Tollcross Park. If she were to finish in the top 3 of her age group then she will qualify to be part of team Scotland in the aforementioned XC champs.

Whether she makes the team or not, and I for one think she's in with a shot, we are so proud of her for giving it a go. It's an incredible achievement to even have the confidence in your abilities to step up on that stage. Special thanks goes to Claire Gilchrist for encouraging Mandy to give it a go.

And yes Mandy...the club is going to pay your £5 entry fee!

So...I have a proposal for which I have been given Mandy's blessing to bring to you all.

We should go cheer her on, right????

You will likely know that Tollcross has a parkrun! I am proposing that any of our members who are keen head through early on the Saturday ready to run the Tollcross parkrun at 9.30 am and then after a coffee and cake, we head back to the park for the start of the race at 12pm to cheer Mandy on.

Anyone keen to join, comment on the Facebook post or speak to Alan at club and when we know who is up for it we can arrange transport plans.

Let's show Mandy the support she deserves!
