George Cumming Relays

EKAC's senior men were out in force on Saturday for the first winter race of the season, the George Cumming relays. For the past two years there has been a great turnout and the weather has been kind to us; and this year was no different.

The relay requires teams of four athletes to run 2.7 mile each.

The A-team of Jack Kirwan, Aidan Gilbride, Vincent Hastings and Niall Walker finished in a very impressive 13th. With the average age of the A-team at a new record low (good thing) at 18 years old!

The B-team which consisted of David Thomson, Derek Leitch, Graeme Haddow and David Gorman ran well to finish 32nd.


With four of the stronger senior runners missing things are looking very good for the future!

Confirmed times as follows:

A-team (13th)
JK 14:50
AG 14:43
VH 15:20
NW 15:22

B-team (32nd)
DT 16:22
DL 16:55
GH 17:35
DG 17:09


Next weekend will see the senior teams competing at the MacAndrew road relay.
