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.

SooWoo Nov 2022 10:29am, 29 Nov 2022 771 posts	Quote Pin SooWoo Facebook post HappyG(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 John Duncan Race Director Highland Fling Race

Holding the coats tho as I've picked up hip niggle. Run well Damo and anyone else racing today. Hoping to make it along to cheer at 7R tomorrow too! G
damo_HAC Dec 2022 1:11pm, 4 Dec 2022 573 posts	Quote Pin damo_HAC 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.
