Great event, and we KRR, had about 50 runners in it - 8 teams of 6 across the 4 legs, I think, something like that. It's a bit wild out just now, but doesn't look that bad. Oh well. Wouldn't matter up the hill, but I suppose it's in the Falkland village that it would be a problem, down lower and in the trees?

Bazoaxe Jan 2022 3:14pm, 28 Jan 2022 21,922 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe I didnt ever do the Auld Toon 10k. The HM started and finished in the park and had a few loops round a car park to make up distance. It also went down and then up what may well have been the brae you referred to. That was my HM PB for many years and I could never get close to it between 2010 and maybe 2017 when I did better it. At alloa which also has a nasty brae to climb

Dvorak Jan 2022 3:30pm, 28 Jan 2022 24,377 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Found a route for 2010, when we both ran it, along with quite a few Fetchies. Mair in the park than I recalled, but not that coincident with the parkrun route, and not including the Coal Road. I remember the weird sharp drop and rise in the car park, just before re-entering the park through the big gates to finish. I also remember it being a real drag along the auld railway path on the return leg, which had been a breeze outbound. Only later did I twig that it was because it had a steady gradient of aboot 1.5%
