This year's Barrhead 10K will take place on Sunday 21 September 2008 and this week Tommy Hearle and Leanne Hamilton, who were the first man and woman home in last year's race, helped launch the new Barrhead 10K website at Barrhead Sports Centre. Joining Tommy and Leanne were members of the Barrhead 10K organising committee including keen runner Councillor Eddie Phillips and runners from the East Renfrewshire jogging network. The first Barrhead 10k race last year attracted 262 entrants, aged between 15 and 75, and the organisers are hoping for even more runners this time. Information about how to register for this year's race, the route, training tips, contact details and a photo gallery of last year's event are available on the new website: http://www.barrhead10k.co.uk/ Councillor Phillips said: "We are hoping for around 400 entries this year and also for better weather. We would recommend that runners train for the event as it is not an easy route but people who are reasonably fit should have no problem with it. "Keep an eye open for our posters, banners and leaflets around the town. Entry forms are available in local shops, the sports centre and library but you can also enter by logging on to our new website." Every runner will receive a goodie bag, medal and tee-shirt.
