Will winchburgh undermine the viability of Polkemmet - which seems to get low numbers?

I did my second Holyrood on Saturday and while this could never be my favourite course because it’s a tough one this must be the most special course for the views.

Facebook post Merry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr) :

THERE WILL BE NO HIGHLAND FLING RACE IN 2023

After much deliberation I have come to the difficult decision to not organise a 2023 Highland Fling Race. This decision has been very difficult for me to make as I am aware that a lot of runners and volunteers enjoy the event.

Over the coming months I feel that I would not be able to give the event the high levels of effort and time required to organise the race.

I am so sorry for any disappointment caused by this decision but promise that the event will return in 2024 and will be better than ever.



Best wishes

John

Is Johnny Fling unwell or having issues? I haven't seen him for a few years to be honest. Great shame. Hope he's OK.

Indeed Dvorak, Stirling would be a better shout. It was a pretty good day for XC. For December in Scotland you can expect much better. A little big soggy underfoot in places but very runnable for most of the course.
