Great Cumbrian Run Sunday 6th October

Dumfries Half Marathon      22nd Sep

Town Run - Brydekirk 6.8 m Tuesday 17th September

Summer weather greeted the runners as they took on the task of getting to Brydekirk and back. Quickest home was our newest member Ross Wellburn who is showing some fine form and making great improvement in a short space of time. First lady home was Marie Marshall who is looking very good and was only a few minutes behind Ross. Well done everyone !

Town Run - Newbie 10 miles Tuesday 10th September

Another good turnout of athletes competed on tuesday evening in dry but very windy conditions.

Langholm Drs Run               1st Sept

The sun was out for most of this race but there was a shower towards the end and a stiff northerly wind which kept the athletes "cool" but was hard to contend with on this hilly course. A fine turn out of ADAC athletes travelled over to the Muckle toon and battled well against their rivals , the course and the elements. First home for the club was Joe Boardman and first lady was Janet Priestley and there were some excellent age grade % especially on this hilly course. Joe and Gordon Vivers won their age categories and it was great to see some runners who haven't competed for a while. Well done everyone. Results are below.

Doonhamer 10km               25th Aug

Another good turnout of ADAC athletes competed at the Dumfries 19km race held on Sunday. The sun was shining and it was pretty warm for the athletes. The times reflected this and only 8 athletes managed a Sub 40 minute time in total. Our results are below. Neil Richardson was first home for the club and Marie Marshall was the first lady home. Well done to everyone who competed in tough conditions.

TOWN RUN 3  POWFOOT 4

The weather was a bit cooler for the latest town run which was a new one around the roads near to Powfoot and Cumertrees. The route included a tricky (and muddy) forest section which athletes had to contest with but all managed around the course safely. Many thanks to Alan Creighton who organised the race along with Barry and Joe who helped with signing the course along with Linda who provided well earned refreshments after the race.

Dalbeattie 10k                     6th Aug

This race is a very hilly one and team ADAC was out in force to tackle this course with the big "HILL" around mile 4. There were some excellent performances with Marie Marshall and Liz Dawson gaining honours in their respective age groups. Well done everyone. Results are below :

Gelston 5 mile                     23rd July

The annual 5 mile road race took place on a warm evening in Castle Douglas. ADAC had a good turnout at the event and first home for the club was James Taylor who is flying at present but suffered an injury last week and got round just got round and took 3rd Male prize.

Marie Marshall had a fabulous run taking quite a few scalps along with the 1st female prize. Neil richardson is starting to show some good form whilst it was good to see Jack Johnstone back out racing again after injury problems. Katrina Smith is starting to show some good performances as she gains experience. Norman and Joe had steady runs whilst Geoff improved again on his previous attempt at this race - a sign that the training is paying off whilst Andy Johnstone continues to make progress and it was good to see Andy Robb competing and finishing respectively. Well done everyone.

Moffat Gala Run                  10th July

Buckland Burn Up             22nd June

Eight ADAC members travelled across to Kirkcudbright for the Buckland Burn up race on Saturday 22nd. The weather was good for running. Not too warm and a nice breeze off the sea. This very scenic race follows the coast road for the first 2 miles then heads inland to mile 4 where runners are greeted by a "small" incline. This is such a good test of strength but runners are rewarded by a downhill last mile or so back into the town. Some good individual performances not least by Marie Marshall who took the ladies Female shield home. It was good to see newer members taking part in ADAC colours for the first time. Well done everyone ! Results are below :

A fair number of ADAC members travelled across the border for the popular Carlisle Urban 10km race which takes in some tricky obstacles including steps and .............some cattle ! Last year's race was hampered by hoards of midges down by the riverside but this year the problem did not seem to happen due to a strong breeze throughout the course. First home for the club was the ever improving James Taylor in 40:33 with Liz Dawson finishing as first lady in 54:00. Gordon Vivers had an excellent run finishing 2nd in his age group. Well done all !
