There were no parkruns and the popular Cupar 5 and Smokies 10 mile ladies race also both fell victim.

Luckily some Anster Haddies have put their passports to good use, managing to bring an international feel to the results.

Taking in many sites around a cold and wet Paris, Eric clocked a distance PB in 1.32.54. Knocking seven minutes off his previous PB. This must give Eric great confidence ahead of the London Marathon in April which he is running to raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis Society.
