River Ness 10km

Perfect running conditions greeted the 8500 runners taking part across all the disciplines of the Baxters Running Festival on Sunday, with 2388 finishers in the 10K.

A good show of yellow vests in the 10K (despite Karen & Sally running in disguise) put in some good times on what is generally considered to be a fast downhill course.

The results (by chip time rather than gun time), as I can find them are :

MEN :

Kenny Wilson 33.13 (10th Overall)

Gareth Jenkins 34.01 (2nd M40)

Gareth and Kenny
Gareth and Kenny

Nigel Williams 42.25

Rennie Simmonds 48.32

WOMEN :

Louise Cartmell 40.08

Gem Munro 47.14 (excellent New PB!)

Fiona Hill 48.12

Sally Bruce 59.42

Karene Ferrier 1.00.55

Karen Norvell 1.01.06

I apologise if I missed anyone.

Sally & Karen ran on the day as support runners for friends, both of whom were hoping to break their 60minute ducks .. Sally obviously a more motivational runner 🙂

As usual the event is well organised and supported, with good after match teas and in a great setting. Look forward to seeing everyone again next year ……
