Harewood Trail Race 10th October 2009
Congratulations to Euan Brennan who took part in the 2 mile Harewood Trail Race at the weekend. Euan came a close second, and the winner actually broke the course record for their age group, in fact Euan was only 3 seconds slower than the winner of the older age group race! Well done Euan - 2 miles in 14 minutes and 45 seconds is a fantastic achievement!
