‘Relay’ top effort from Leven’s prize runners

Over fifty teams of five from running clubs all over the east of Scotland meet once a year to run a relay race where runners complete a one mile lap before handing over to a team mate in relay fashion.

Each team does this twice so that individual teams have all run a total of of ten miles.

This year’s course was a twisting and turning test of stamina on a muddy route around the campus grounds.

Although LLV didn’t come away with any silverware this year they did come away with memories of a glorious sunny day spent competing in the company of fellow runners, doing what they love to do best.

LLV teams were:

Viva Las Vegas! - Chris Russell, Bryan McLaren, Robert Paterson, Stephanie Barclay and Heather Keddie.

Jailhouse Rockers - Gordon Christie, Jamie Ainge, Gayle Moran, Annie Gibson and Tam Cullen.

Hound Dogs - Ross Johnston, Graeme Kermath, Peter Rieu-Clarke, Bill Gillan and Jeff Taylor.

Good Luck Charmers - Bex Oakenfull, Ronnie Forsyth, Claire Doak, Kevin McCrabbe and Alan Boyd.

Teddy Bears - Gozde Ozakinci, Lorraine Davie, Cali Ritchie, Sharron McArthur.

Kelly’s Heroes - Nicole Kelly, Ian Shield, Tracey Millar, Colin Aitken and Lee Lowe.

Meanwhile in Glasgow, recent LLV Couch to 5k graduate Heather Ford ably assisted by daughter Christie and LLV club-mate Tricia Bain took part in the Jimmy Irvine Bella 10k.

This was a major step-up for Heather and Tricia in successfully tackling their first ever 10k event.
