Cross Country

The penultimate round of the Borders and District series was held, for the first time, at Wooler. Severe winter conditions with driving snow, hail and freezing temperatures made this a race that many will not forget. A full contingent of junior Dunbar runners braved the weather conditions to compete and try to secure vital points before the final race to be held two weeks later at Dunbar. A number of athletes recorded good finishing positions.

Dunbar Running Club hosted the final round of the Borders and District series on Sunday 27th February. The route, set by the club, took athletes from the beach at White Sands, around the Barns Ness Light House. Runners then turned back through the dunes to finish in the White Sands car park. The conditions were favorable making this one of the fastest races in the series.

A number of junior runners took part with notable finishes by Loren Smedley making it seven wins out of seven races, Lauren Peffers recording her 4th win in the four races she took part in. Megan Gaffney was 3rd in her age group 12/13 year olds, Anna Dobson was also 3rd in the under 11 category.

Anna Dobson was second in the under 11 year old with Abigail Twist 4th in the same age group. Loren Smedley was 1st in the 12/13 age group and Megan Gaffney 2nd and Nicola Craig 4th. Eve Baillie only managed to run three races but was placed 7th in this age group. In the 14/15 age group Lauren Peffers was placed 1st and Abigail Dobson 4th. Daisy Sherwood only took part in three races and was placed 6th. For the boys, Liam Barclay 8th and Toby Sherwood, only having completed three races, 11th. The team 1st price for the juniors went to Eyemouth with Dunbar taking 3rd position.

After the race all runners were invited back to HallHill Healthy Living Centre for soup and sandwiches and the series prize giving ceremony. Dunbar athletes of all ages took a significant number of the podium places but all runners who ran in at least four races of the seven received a momento for their efforts.
