The scottishathletics Road Race Grand Prix is up and running after the recent Scottish Half Marathon Champs in Inverness.

And it is good to confirm that no fewer than a dozen athletes in the Highlands delivered performances which merit shares.

The £4000 prize-money in the GP is divided up via shares awarded for those who are inside A and B standard times for each distance.

Four women achieved the A standard (sub 76:00) at Inverness:

Nancy Scott (Edinburgh AC) 73:20; Naomi Lang (Carnethy HRC) 74:39; Brogan Wallace (Shettleston Harriers) 74:57; Kirsty Walker (Edinburgh AC) 75:27.

Rosa Donaldson (Shettleston Harriers) made the B standard with her run of 77:21.

The split was clearer in the men with the top seven finishers outside the A standard of sub 65:00 but inside the B standard (sub 67:00).

Well done to Jamie Crowe (Central AC) 65:19; Sean Chalmers (Aberdeen AAC) 65:20; Ryan Thomson (Cambuslang Harriers) 65:22; Taha Ghafari (Shettleston Harriers) 65:39; Eddie Narbett (Carnethy HRC) 65:44; Lewis Rodgers (Fife AC) 65:47; Michael Ferguson (Aberdeen AAC) 65:54.

Good to see a number of clubs already represented in the Road Race GP via these performances.

The next opportunity to land shares is at the Scottish 10-Mile Champs coming up this weekend at the Tom Scott Road Races at Strathclyde Park, Motherwell.
