Helensburgh 10K Start Line, Thursday 20 May 2010

Thursday saw the first 10k Race in the 2010 Polaroid Eyewear Series, held at Helensburgh on the Clyde coast. With 933 entrants, the highest level for many years, plus we have similar levels of entries already in place for the forthcoming Clydebank, Dumbarton and Vale of Leven events.

The overall race winner was Amanuel Hagos, one of the Eritrean runners within Shettleston Harriers in a time of 30:37. First female was Alison Docherty of Central AC in a time of 36:26.

The Polaroid Eyewear Series is very clear in its aim that whilst it provides accurate and organised races for Elite athletes, 90% of the runners we cater for are there to enjoy their run and race against only themselves. In that respect it was fantastic to see the numbers involved out enjoying their sport, whatever their pace. Congratulations to all the runners.

Helensburgh 10K - sheer determination!

The Series ‘Roadshow’ moves on this Thursday to Clydebank, and whilst entries are now closed for that event, its not too late for the Dumbarton or Vale runs! So enter here. Remember, spot prizes include our fabulous Polaroid Eyewear sunglasses, all the more reason to join in and take part.
