It is that. And the hill gets steeper each time.

Are you scarred Ian?! ;-) I have to say, Pittencrieff Park (The Glen) in Dunfermline is lovely, the team are great and the runners are all fab. But I hate that hill. And by the end I hate it 3 times as much!

I don't mind a multi lapper though. Portobello is really tight though, esp if, as you say, numbers there are on the increase. Great to see the number of events and participation continuing to grow. :-) G

Woohoo, I’m off to the Polkemmet trial run tomorrow after Vogrie. Have said I’ll run or can volunteer if they need me. Who else is going?

Dvorak, yes we will have local guides to run you down to the start or if you dont want to run down, there is a morrisons across from the start where you can park (I didn't tell you that :)!

That’s a shame, but not unexpected. There’s potential for a well run, perhaps locally organised, event to take its place.

I’ve no idea how the economics of this sort event pan out, but it’s disappointing they’ve decided to bail out.

I have just spent a day with someone great run staff and they never mentioned it - although i think that way above their pay grade. They were actually happy with the way Stirling went this year so I am surprised by news.

Have heard rumours about other big races that councils are reluctant to co-operate by offering traffic management which has to be then contracted out at massive expense.
