28th Troon 10K 2013 Report

An impressive field of 35 Harriers took their place at the start line on Wednesday night for the 28th running of the Troon 10K. 

Conditions were not ideal with runners having a strong headwind to contend with from the off, however that did not prevent good performances all round.  

Ladies Club Captain Kara Tait put in a great show and was 1^st female home in 37:12, finishing a full 59 seconds ahead of her nearest challenger.

First male home for the club was Iain Connell in 34:54 finishing 8^th overall and 3^rd in his category, closely followed by Scott Martin in 35:14 placing 9^th overall/4^th in category.

Neil Walker, running only his 2^nd 10K, smashed his previous best by over 3 mins coming home in 36:38  

In his first run in Kilmarnock colours, Robert Lindsay had an impressive debut completing in a time of 37:58.     Mark Alexander achieved a personal best of 38:25 and both him and Robert now go onto the Edinburgh Marathon with high hopes.

There was also a PB for Jacqueline Neil who had a strong run completing in  48:49 and taking a full 1:40 off her previous personal best.

In the Veteran Men 60-69 category there were top 10 finishes for Matt Ferguson (4^th) and Alex Pettigrew (7^th)
