What a day!

I had hoped to have some photos of the day available by now but my camera phone gave up the ghost towards the end. I hope to be able to get them off the memory card somehow. If you have any good pictures please feel free to send them via the email address below and I will try to make them available. It was certainly a memorable day for all involved!

A big thankyou to Bob Marshall for the excellent photos now on Picasa; they are even better in there original 2mb glory!

Good luck and Thank you

At last the day has arrived! We would like to wish all the athletes an enjoyable and challenging race. We hope the wind and the weather is on your back all day long. Thanks also to all the people, too many to mention, who have made the race day a reality. A special thank you to all the sponsors and friends who have committed cash or resources during these trying financial times.

PS On my trawl through the Internet I have noticed numerous comments about the course being really good, the race being well organised and the entry cost cheap. Thanks for the advice! I will be talking with next years organisers to resolve the last point!!!

On a serious note the event is an important fund raiser for the work of the club and we are really grateful to all who have contributed in one way, shape or form. Thank you.

Sponsors for 2009


We would love to hear from potential sponsors who want to add something positive to the local community and especially the hundreds of young people who train hard for life and sport at Lasswade Athletics Club. The club is run by volunteers and this event is an important fundraiser to support the club's activities throughout the year. You can have a bit of exposure in our advertising, present the trophies for "Your" race and we might even stretch to a cup of tea and a burger ably provided by Newtongrange Gala Day committee!
