W M DONALD GETS GOLD, SILVER AND BRONZE!
The first Chapelton of Elsick 10K run took place on 15th July. The course was part road and part trail and took runners through the beautiful Elsick House Estate. All profits from the event go to local schools and charities.
The start and finish were in the new village of Chapelton which features access roads, and hard and soft landscaping completed by W M Donald.
Ian Gray and Karen Stephen took part in the run. You can still sponsor their efforts by going to:

All the runners received a medal sponsored by W M Donald.
PS – For those of you wincing at the thought of running 10K, look away now. Karen and Lyndsay Merson are running the half marathon at the Simplyhealth Great Aberdeen Run on 26th August.
Lyndsay is running to raise monies for ‘The Archie Foundation’, the charity of Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital. The hospital cared for Lyndsay’s nephew, Mason Ross, when he was born three months premature. You can find out more at:
