Harriers represent their schools in the Sportshall Finals
Some of our junior athletes represented their primary schools at the Sportshall Athletics South Lanarkshire Final on Friday 7th February. Emma Dooey and George Brown (Machanhill Primary) and RJ Laubscher (Glengowan Primary) took part in a range of events along with their teams at the Alistair McCoist Complex in East Kilbride. The teams finished 10th and 11th on the day, not bad considering there are a total of 128 primary schools across South Lanarkshire!
First time outing for all four of our SUPERTeams girls.
A team of 4 of our youngest juniors represented the club at the SuperTeams event at the Emirates. It was the first SuperTeams outing for all 4 girls who were one of the youngest teams to take part in the under 12s event.
They each competed in 4 events - 60m, Shot Put, Long Jump and a 4 x 200m relay. Many of them were taking part in events for the first time but they put in a great team performance and had a great day representing their club. They even managed to teach coach Alastair a few of their signatures poses!

This January we launched our first ever beginners group, JogScotland Larkhall
This January seen the launch of our long awaited beginners section, JogScotland Larkhall! We had such a phenomenal response to that we had to increase the size of the group and on the 21st of January when we got to welcome our 40 new athletes to the club and get them started on their fitness journey as they take on the Couch to 5k program.
We'll be gradually putting them through their paces over the next 12 weeks in a structured program designed to get absolute beginners to the point where they can run 5K without stopping!
We're so excited to get them running and we'll keep you updated on their progress!
