Will it be 4 in a Row at Blairadam?

The annual Carnegie Harriers Forest Festival takes place tomorrow at 11am from Blairadam Forest, Circuiteers Ian Johnstone, Catherine Wilson, Helena Sim, Sue Walker, Julie & Peter Humphries, Ryan McKenzie and Gail Murdoch all taking part.

Tommy has won the Senior mens events the last three years but has stiffer competition from Internationalist Andrew Wright and Dave Simpson alongside Andy Durham who is running better than ever at the moment and Super Vet Ian Stewart who gave Tommy a run for his money at the East District Championships 2 weeks ago at Cuper.  Tommy has raced against Dave 3 times, twice running the Forth road bridge 10K and last years Auld Toun 10k and Andy once at the Bishop’s Hill race last year it makes for an interesting contest tomorrow.
