The 38 mile course heads north from Jedburgh towards Melrose where runners traverse the three summits of the Eildon Hills.

Robin Pate took on the individual challenge of completing the entire course while his clubmates Karen Capewell, Jim Dunstan, Mark McLean and Davie Hogg ran as a relay team, finishing seventh.

The cross country racing season continued, with Allen Marr competing in the East District League match over a 9km course at Stirling University last weekend and in the Scottish National Relays at Cumbernauld this week where he set the second fastest time of the day in the over-60 age category. Next up for Allen is the Scottish National Cross Country Championships in November.

At the weekend parkruns there were new personal best times for Nick Silcocks and Stephanie Barclay at Kirkcaldy, Mark McLean at Loch Leven and Matt Holden at Stretford.
