WATCH: Callum Hawkins on his XC return and Doha

Callum Hawkins returned to his roots at Cumbernauld as he raced the Lindsays National XC Relays in his first outing since that stunning performance in the IAAF World Champs marathon ended with fourth place in Doha.

‘It was great to wear the club vest again for Kilbarchan and the noise and support out on the course for all the athletes was absolutely terrific.’

Watch our interview with Callum after he helped Kilbarchan AAC to silver medals as Central AC repeated last year’s win in the Senior Men’s race.

Three weeks on from that midnight run which captivated the athletics community in Scotland, Callum also reflected on the agony of missing a World Champs medal by only six seconds.
