Was great to be organising Caerketton Hill race again after covid break in recent years. It was a glorious evening and great turnout with 83 taking part in seniors and 6 in the junior event.
As well as runners coming from across Scotland, we also had 4 runners from the states (Mid-Michigan Track Club) which was nice to see. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the race.
