On brand bringing in our penultimate runner!

A great way to start February with two runs back to back in the Winter Warmer Run series. Saturday was in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh whilst on Sunday Dougie travelled west for the Glasgow edition, to Glasgow Green.

Hats off to all who took part in the half marathon, 10K and 5K runs; many running for Shelter (hence the red suit!).

Big thanks to Dave from The Fix Events for the booking and Garry from 2 fast 2 photo for being clicking marvellous!

The team behind MoRunning have asked Dougie to be their Scottish host in February 2023.

The Edinburgh Winter Warmer Run will be held at Holyrood Park on Saturday, starting at 9am with the Half marathon. Thereafter, at 10am, the 10K run commences with the 5K shortly afterwards.

24 hours later we do it all again at Glasgow Green for the Glasgow edition!

The medals look awesome too!

So great to receive this from WMP Creative in London:

We have worked with Dougie on a number of occasions across a range of events and have always been impressed by the energy and professionalism that Dougie brings. He has a fantastic talent for bringing events to life and building an atmosphere amongst attendees of all ages – even most recently on a cold and drizzly Saturday morning! Dougie is also a valued member of our event delivery teams when we work with him, always on hand to offer help and operational support where required. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Dougie again in the future.

It was a fantastic October morning at Cluny Castle, Aberdeenshire, for the inaugural Cluny Castle Trail Run. Hundreds of participants descended to this beautiful location, as seen in The Queen (starring Dame Helen Mirren), to take part in a 10K, 5K or 2K fun run.

Thanks to Baron Cosmo Linzee Gordon, his wife Bronya and the WMP Creative team who made Dougie feel so welcome.

So great to be back for another year with Threshold Sports for Macmillian’s Rob Roy Mighty Hike.

Despite the weather being “interesting” the atmosphere was electric with so many people fundraising for Macmillan cancer support.

Over £1M was raised from this Mighty Hike alone.

Dougie was delighted to voice the start in Callander and finish in Killin.

Here’s a picture of him at the start line!

The sun shone in Stirling on Sunday 21st August where the re-branded Pedal Stirling Sportive (previously know as Pedal for Parkinson’s Stirling) took place for the eleventh year. Dougie did his thing with Kris playing tunes to keep riders and spectators amused from 8am – 5pm.

Sarah Lyall, events co-ordinator from Parkinson’s UK commented  It was fantastic having you and Kris there and, as always, you did an amazing job!! 

Here’s some pictures of the schenanigans, thanks to photographers David Mollison and Micah.
