Tuesday Night Training

Jog leader Ian took the group along to Lower Methil for a session of hill sprints.

Parkruns

There were a couple of outstanding performances on an icy course at St Andrews where Lesley Turnbull knocked a full minute off her previous best time and broke the 30 minute barrier. Kenna Orkney achieved an even greater improvement of her PB by more than two minutes.

RNLI Kinghorn Santa Run

This event was a fundraiser with a festive theme for the Kinghorn station of the RNLI. The brave volunteers who work at Kinghorn are kind enough to marshal the Nightmare series Blacker Than Black Rock race and several Leven Las Vegas members came along to support the fund raising efforts.  The race was won by Chris Russell of LLV. Also in attendance were Bex Oakenfull, Annie Gibson, Bryan McLaren, John Kay and James Scott.
