Son of a Pronator Man Mar 2023 9:34pm, 20 Mar 2023 9,002 posts	Quote Pin Son of a Pronator Man I think Inverness half, which was happening on the same day as Alloa, was the SA half marathon road race championship event.
Dvorak Mar 2023 1:06am, 21 Mar 2023 26,754 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Just checked the Scottish Athletics event listings (all SA licenced events) and Alloa HM isn't listed. I'd have thought that someone might have spotted that? Also looked at the Jack Crawford results. Had thought of entering, but glad I didn't. Optimistically, I'd have been fourth-last for the second consecutive time, possibly second last.

FergusG Mar 2023 4:41pm, 23 Mar 2023 5,120 posts	Quote Pin FergusG I sent an email to the Alloa Half organisers, in case there were any crossed wires with their licence and they were unaware of the gap. They’ve responded… “Thank-you for letting us know. We have already raised with Scottish Athletics as we noticed it last week so hoping they will have their systems updated soon.”

Lesley C Mar 2023 1:48pm, 25 Mar 2023 3,219 posts	Quote Pin Lesley C Trail shoes or road shoes for Torvean Parkrun? Might be running it next weekend. Is the course flat or undulating and is there plenty of parking?
Ally-C Mar 2023 1:51pm, 25 Mar 2023 3,206 posts	Quote Pin Ally-C Road should be fine, it’s undulating, can’t recall, we stayed at the Premier Inn which is very close. Watch the Parkrun Scotland video on YouTube. They’re quite short.

Is the course flat or undulating and is there plenty of parking? Road shoes are fine. They have a wee hill but nothing like the finish at Crathes nor the hill at Stoney.

Lovely parkrun though
