Ceres 8
The popular Ceres 8 mile race returned to the running calendar after a couple of years where organisers Fife AC had difficulties obtaining road closure licences. Leven members Alan Davie, Kevin Hughes and Mark McLean took part on a redesigned course which was apparently even more challenging than the old one!
