Parkruns

At the Saturday morning parkruns, Kenna Orkney and Lesley Turnbull set new personal bests at Beveridge Park in Kirkcaldy.

Matthew Holden was an international parkrun tourist at Claisebrook Cove parkrun which is run along the bank of the Swan River in Perth, Australia.

Devilla 15k

This is a hugely popular annual event hosted by Carnegie Harriers, with well over 500 runners making a circuit of Devilla Forest in west Fife, starting and finishing in the grounds of Tulliallan Police College near Kincardine. The route skirts around three lochs and goes through a variety of sheltered woodland and open ground. Ground conditions vary from hard-packed forest trails to very boggy knee-deep mud.

A team of 10 from Leven Las Vegas Running Club completed the course. First LLV to finish in 13th position overall was Chris Russell who also picked up an age category prize. Chris was closely followed by Bryan McLaren and Iain Wallace who both finished well within the top 50. The first LLV lady runner to complete the course was the ever-improving Gillian Easton. Also taking part from the Leven club were Robin Pate, Douglas Clews, Jemma Guild, Teresa Guild, Bex Oakenfull and Karen Richards.

Tricia Wallace was unable to finish the 15k due to injury and Allen Marr had to withdraw from the 5k also due to injury.
