Langholm 8 Mile Doctors Race An aptly named run with many 'undulations' resulting in exhausted runners by the end. Well I was. A good turnout from Moorfoots and as ususal Darin Will and James carried off the team prize (and Will the vet's prize).
Darin and Will came second and third after Euan Jardine of Gala. LASSWADE 10 MILE RACE 4 March This race is a very hilly course but Darin, helped and encouraged by Will Hynd, succeeded at last in breaking 60 minutes for this distance. This result, with James Britton not far behind, gave Moorfoot a team prize once again. 2006-7 BORDERS WINTER CROSS-COUNTRY SERIES Final results can be found on www.norhamrc.co.uk And yes, Moorfoot snatched victory in the series at the final race in Norham from City of Edinburgh and Gala. Thanks to all those who contributed, particularly Darin Dougal, Mike McGovern, Will Hynd and James Britton.
The Team
Moorfoot hosted the third race of the series at Haylodge Park in Peebles on Sunday 3rd of December. The heavy rain almost cancelled the races as half the course was flooded. However, quick thinking from organiser Mike Pearson to change the course at the last minute meant the races went ahead on schedule. BELTANE 10K 2006

Farewell to Club President: Dave Wardman After living here in the Scottish Borders for 24 years, Dave has decided to pack up his running shoes and return to his native Yorkshire. Dave, along with Mike McGovern and Will Hynd, created Moorfoot Runners and his enthusiasm and presence will be sorely missed. All the Moorfoots wish Dave well on his new adventure in Northallerton. Dave promises he will continue to be a part of the Moorfoot Runners, returning every year to participate in the many Scottish runs he enjoys. As a farewell to Dave, Issy Knox, organised a handicap race around the Three Bridges course one Sunday morning. Whilst Dave didn't manage to win the race, he did receive a beautiful pewter tankard, especially inscribed, along with a case of his favoured tipple, 'Deuchars IPA'.
