Dvorak Wanted to get back under 25 - and did :-).  Startled by the start, er, starting; and was further up than usual.  Kept fairly consistent and had a wee sprint finish.  Record Scottish turnout - I was in the top half, which is very rare. (Watch time.) Unaffiliated 24:16 24:20 24:59 24:44 58.14

Ribenaface (RFSQL) Surprised! A huge field of 515 runners. Managed just 9s shy of my pb despite having done little in the way of shorter, faster running in the last year. Carnethy Hill RC 17:39 17:48 17:48 73.85

About this parkrun

Flat and fast, out and back course with a loop at the far end. Along the sea-front, can be windy and normally a head wind on the way back. Definitely PB potential if not windy.

Pancake flat out and back run, but feels a bit relentless as almost inevitably wind in one of the directions. Easy parking, road shoes and remember the 9:30 start if you don't live in Scotland!

Out and back course like a lollipop, flat, busy, but thins out quickly. Can be windy on the way back.

Flat and fast, hope for a lack of wind (unlikely)

Run down the handle of the frying pan, round the pan, and back up the handle. Pancake flat ;-) Nice views of the sea, and good parking nearby.

If you get a day with no wind, then hello PB! Otherwise, be prepared to struggle.

Very busy, very flat. Lovely views when there's good visibility, which can be touch and go!

Decent parkrun. Looks like a lollipop.

Can be quite busy. Starts at Sliverknowes and runs along the promenade beside the Forth. Out and back. Very flat but exposed so can be windy. On a calm day you’ll not get a faster course Several cafe options but don't go to the Boardwalk Beach Club.
