ACORN Duncan Macfarlane Race

Duncan Macfarlane was in his day, a well-respected and accomplished runner - being part of the Victoria Park AC team, along with Scottish legend Andy Forbes, who were the only non-English team to win the English Cross County Championship 1952. Duncan Macfarlane, being Michelle's grandfather, is also by that measure Acorn Trails' great-grandfather! And we are proud of that! January 14th, 1921 saw the good man born just up the road near Balloch. To commemorate his 100th birthday, we brought you the Duncan Macfarlane VIRTUAL, and raised over £300 for The Woodland Trust. The Dunky Still celebrating his achievements, we bring you The Dunky. A two lap 7.5km trail race in Mugdock Country Park. Mugdock was chosen as it is the old weekend stomping ground of Dunky, and his Victoria Park AC clubmates. The route will take you through the park passing two castles, a loch and a World War II anti-aircraft emplacement. Circling the water's edge it will throng through the falling autumn leaves, and weather permitting offer extensive views across the Greater Glasgow area.
