North Berwick Law Race

Another Record breaking event for East Lothian Councils Community Recreation team.

HBT Ladies were on top form with Tessa Hill beating her 2012 time with a run of  21mins 56 secs. Penicuiks Sarah McKechnie took 2^nd place and Rachel Grieve (Anster Haddies) taking 3^rd.

The junior titles were taken by Gavin McWhinnnie (Fife) in 23mins 50secs and Beth Hobbs (Moorfoot) in 25 mins 16 secs.

Other award categories were the 1^st Male Vet – Andrew Wright (Ochil Hill runners), 1^st Lady Vet – Jakie Tout (UA) in 27.01. North Berwick Local, Marcus Lyall, was cheered home in 25mins 26secs.
