Limpers duo in action in north east trail run

The Thrunton Thriller takes place in Thrunton Woods; a special place renowned for its great walking, dramatic crags and far-off views of the Cheviots.

The route takes on the famous double crags in the south of Thrunton Woods and then goes round Thrunton Crags in the north and tackles some glorious paths along the way.

Both Leahn and Ian completed the extremely challenging course in excellent times, 02:09 and 02:21 respectively.

Meanwhile, Jock Calder headed north to run Alloa’s half marathon on Sunday, with tough conditions – big headwinds along Hillfoots and big climbs from Menstrie, but finishing with a very respectable time of 01:54.

On a lighter note, muddy trainers were a-plenty on Saturday morning when the Latte Ladies clocked another five-mile coffee shop run, taking them from Milestone in Newtown St Boswells, down river via the chain bridge at Dryburgh, to Mertoun bridge, where they crossed the river Tweed, to run back up river to their next destination, The Mainstreet Trading Company in St Boswells.
