Although I didn't make it to the event, the Fifth Kilmaurs Gala 5k, held on Wednesday 25th July, was bigger and better than ever.
A warm and sunny evening greeted some 116 runners at the East Ayrshire annual event held in the village’s Morton Park.
Robert Gilroy, of Ronhill Cambuslang Harriers, defended his title in a time of 15.52, with Kilmarnock Harrier Iain Connell earning Silver in 16.28 and his fellow Harrier Robert Naughton placing third in 17.03.
Kilmaurs's own Kara Tait won the women’s race in 17.51, eight seconds outside the course record she set last year. Natalie Sharp was second in 18.31 and Toni McIntosh made her return to racing placing third in 20.10.
In the men’s age categories, Kilmarnock Harrier Keith Haining won the veterans’ 40, Bellahouston Road Runner John Gilhooly won the V50, Bellahouston Harrier Howard Scott took the V60 and his club mate Stephen McLean the V70. In the under-20s, local lad Ewan Brown, 12, had a fantastic race to win in 21.49.
In the women's age categories Girvan’s Elaine Rennie, took the V40, Kilmarnock’s Rosemary McMillan won the V50, Toni's mum, Trish McIntosh won the V60 and Emily Munn was first in the under-20s.
