Whitelaw leads way in Tour De La Moffat

The Tour De La Moffat 5.7 mile course is always very popular and with the glorious weather the views over Moffat itself were fantastic.
In the men’s results Mark Whitelaw claimed first place again with a time of 39.24. Adam Anderson was second with a time of 41.11 and Martin Coopland finished third on 41.39.
In the ladies, Rosie Allen again took first place with a time of 49.56.
Janet Priestley took second with a time of 51.59 and Liz Dawson took third on 56.53. Other runners who had a good run on the day were the ever-improving Billy Kerr, Yvonne Kerr, Linda Cameron, Kenny Patterson and Linda Minto who is just back from a long layoff after injury. There were also some fantastic times from the guest runners, with Rick Wood coming home in a very respectable 46.36. Mark Whitelaw now leads the men’s championship and Janet now leads the ladies with one race left to go, which is Potholm five-mile run at Langholm on March 19.
As always, anyone who wishes to come along to any of the runs or training are more than welcome.
