And our photographer Scott Louden was on hand to capture the athletes that took part on Saturday afternoon, including a healthy group of Falkirk Victoria Harriers, who secured podium placings and new personal bests galore.
Vics ace Scott Stirling made history when he won silver in the senior men’s event – with that result earning him the title of being the first-ever Vics’ athlete to earn a podium placing at senior level.
Youngster Ray Taylor also impressed, with the Vics youngster taking home gold in the under-15s boys’ race.
The club were certainly no strangers to the team podiums, taking gold in the under-15 boys while the under-13 girls and under-17 women both secured bronze medals.
Meanwhile, Jamie Crowe won the senior men’s race while Alice Goodall won the senior women’s race.
We’ll have a full report on the Falkirk Vics’ athletes exploits in this week’s Falkirk Herald, which comes out on Thursday, February 29.
