Boxing Day Handicap Fun Run

Having checked with the Elf in Safety early in the morning, the handicap fun run was given the thumbs up by the man with the white beard and red hoodie, but with the caveat that diddy steps were taken on any slushy downhill sections and round the corners. This seemed to suit the wee guys who were off first with a second consecutive victory going the way of Mooney offspring, Ava taking the spoils this year. An excellent scratch time of 15.45 saw her home clear first and very deserving recipient of a box of chocs (as if she needed any more at this time of year) and much sought after Moorfoot Award Winner sports bottle. Ava very kindly shared her spoils around the runners in the Peel. Completing the podium were the McKean sisters Kate, who picked up six Elf slices for second, and Olivia who got the traditional tin of hot dog sausages for third, much to mum's nutritional delight!
Bobby Mooney had a ding-dong battle up the home straight with backmarker Euan Hood who just had the legs to gain fourth, with a very late sprint, Bobby's consolation being first senior finisher and the traditional reward of a bottle of scorching hot sauce.
A record turnout of twenty four finishers - well done all. Special mention for Kai Keen who was struck by a late sausage induced stitch but showed guts (thankfully not literally) to still finish.
