Senior Men – First Sealed Handicap
Introduced in 1939, before emigrating to Australia, Jim Menzies, who had been treasurer for a number of years and club captain in the 1925-26 season, presented a cup in his name. The Menzies Trophy race was a designated five-mile event.
Since it’s introduction in 1939 the Menzies Trophy route remains almost the same, Victoria Road, Avenue, 10k Hill, Wilton Burn, Borthaugh, Jooglie, Braxholme Bridge, Martin’s Bridge, Buccleuch Road.
