If you thought that all road race Championship races were flat, fast affairs – think again! Although most certainly not in the league of the Skye half the day before, the Dunfermline race had its fair share of hills, twists & turns. Add in over 5 miles of cycle paths devoid of anyone but racers & a few folks manning a water station & it becomes clear that the revised Scottish Championship course is suited best to the mentally strong & internally motivated runner!
Here are accounts from Niamh Devlin & Jenny MacLean, plus results for your delectation.

With this thought in mind I happily headed off out up the hill to catch the bus to the start.

Expecting a biting cold & dull day, it was with some trepidation that I opened the curtains on Sunday. However, it was gorgeously sunny, fairly still and much milder than anticipated, which was a good omen for the day to come.
So, with a mounting sense of excitement I strapped my rucksack on my back and stuck out to trot to Holyrood Park to take part in my first 10k of the year in the company of 10,000 others.
