Strathearn Harriers - New Year's Day Run 2014

Blast Running Hot Chocolate 10k

Race Date: 23 November 2025

With thanks to Fiona McDonald for the following race report: Four of us ran the Blast Running Hot Chocolate 10k today in Edinburgh. It’s a friendly, low-key event in Cramond. Conditions were cold and drizzly, but relatively still. We’re awaiting official results, but our watches suggest:

  • Morris 41:25 (well under his pre-race goal of 42 minutes)
  • Kay: 46:22 (10k PB)
  • Me: 47:36 (a minute slower than my time for race 3 years ago but still happy)
  • Nicola: 50:50 (a minute quicker than her Maggie's Centre 10k a fortnight ago)

So, four fairly happy bunnies came away from the event, albeit a bit cold and wet.

Official times were:

Morris: 41.25

Kay: 46.14

Fiona: 47.30

Nicola: 50.49.
