Good Luck to GRR's John Edwards who (rumour has it) is once again competing in this year's Fife 50km race on Sunday.

Speedwork Facilities - Now available!

Watch this space for more details of GRR organised training nights, hopefully with a qualified coach!.

The warmer weather is upon us (honest) and so Inverurie Academy have laid out their playing fields for the Athletic season.
The good news is that it means we have a 400m track (grass) on our doorstep - all nicely laid out waiting for you to have a blast round some night when speedwork takes your fancy (I know & when hell freezes over I hear you say...)

Dunnydeer Hill Race
The Dunnydeer Hill race is back again this year, as part of the Insch Gala fundraising event for Freinds of Insch Hospital.

The event is on 11th June.
Its a 6km race from the playing fields at Insch Leisure Centre up to the top of Dunnydeer Hill and back again; total acsent 400ft.

This year we are assisting the organisers by providing the SAF race permit, so all the more reason for the club to be well represented.

So if you fancy taking the kids for a day out, and squeezing in a short hill race, then mark your diaries for Sun 11th June!

NB: entry is on the day.
