There have been a number of events taking place across the UK over the past week which have had Falkirk Vics’ athletes involved.

Scott Stirling travelled to Northern Ireland as part of a team representing Scotland to take part in the Armagh annual international road race, which is one of the most popular road races and attracts athletes from all over the world.

It is a fast, flat course which sees a number of athletes completing the course in sub-15 minutes. Scott ran a very impressive 13.56 in the men’s race and along with teammates Ben MacMillan (Central AC) and Adam Craig (Inverclyde AC), lifted team gold for Scotland.

Aimee Calder took part in her first English National Championship event in Sheffield and smashed her previous personal best for the 200m, crossing the line in 26.99 seconds at under-15 level.
