WITH this year's track and field season finished most runners are looking towards the new cross country season which starts this weekend but not Ayr Seaforth AC member Ian Young who last weekend travelled to compete in the Chicago Marathon.

Ian has competed in numerous marathons but it was his first time running in the Windy City.

The massive field of almost 45,000 runners set off at 7.30am on Sunday and in a race which was won by Great Britain’s Mo Farah , Ian completed the course in a time of 3:34.41.

Congratulations go to Ian from everyone at Ayr Seaforth.
