A weekend of milestones and fundraising for Kirkcaldy Wizards

The occasion was marked by a group of Wizards and Kirkcaldy parkrun regulars forming a guard of honour as she made her way towards the finish line.

It has been a quieter week in the Wizarding race circuit, with many concentrating on getting some crucial training miles for the upcoming Kirkcaldy Parks half marathon, which is now only a month away.

There was however a stellar turnout of Wizards for the Sunday morning Bacon Rollers, as 22 members showed up to keep James Stewart company for his charity fundraiser.

Stewart has embarked on the challenge of running the Last Duel trail race course in Cardenden Woods every single day in July, in an effort to raise crucial funds for the Kirkcaldy Food Bank.

In addition to this, on Wednesday, July 19, Brian Adams took part in the Exeter 10k, achieving a time of 57:03, which saw him place in 175th overall.

Meanwhile, at the Kirkcaldy parkrun, there was a stellar turnout of 50 Wizards and Fife AC runners. Fife AC youngster Katie Sandilands achieved a course personal best, first female and second place overall, with a speedy 18:51.
