For one member, Daniel Kershaw it was an extremely busy couple of days which saw him running almost 70 miles. On the Saturday he contested the Mad Hatters Adventure into Wonderland 40 miles Ultra race. The course from Lochore Meadows Country Park takes the runners out over Benarty Hill and the Lomond Hills, which Daniel completed in 10 hours 45 minutes 25 seconds.

Less than 24 hours later he was lining up for the Loch Rannoch Marathon which saw him run the 26.2 miles in 4 hours 34 minutes 54 seconds. The Falkland clubs Martyn Neilson had a good run the ultra event finishing in 7th place in 7h 43m 26s.

The club were also represented in both the Mad Hatters half marathon and full marathon. In the half, veteran Skwerl Bill Duff was the leading over-60 finishing in 2h 47m 34s with John Leee finishing in 3h 33m 04s, Karen Campbell 3h 42m 19s and Myra Campbell 3h 55m 43s, Stuart McIntyre 4:02.40, Caroline Colgan NTG.

In the marathon Lizzie and Kim Martin finished together in 7h 06m 09s.
