Strathearn Harriers - New Year's Day Run 2014

Round the Houses 10k

Race Date: 26 April 2026

One of the fastest 10ks in Scotland, the Round the Houses race is always a good place to go hunting PBs, and so it proved this year for two Harriers. Thanks to John Myles for this report: Good group of 8 Harriers ventured down to Grangemouth for the 10k. Very well organised and marshalled race with the sun deciding to burst through just as we started to give a very warm race. Some impressive times with a couple of PBs for Ronan McDermott and Mags Gough, but another great result for Dave Torgersen 1st V75 and 2nd V70. First Harrier home was Calum (from our Juniors) in a route where he would have loved a 5m elevation gain and quickly followed by Isaac (also from our Juniors); the youngsters showing how it’s done.
