Meanwhile, founder Kirkcaldy Wizards member and former coach Alison McGill, now of Fife AC, was first female in the daunting West Highland Way Ultra race, a 95-mile test which takes runners from Milngavie Railway Station and travels up hills and through trails, woodland and valleys, all the way north to Fort William.

McGill produced a remarkable performance to complete the race in 19 hours, 2 minutes and 41 seconds, also enough to place seventh overall, a remarkable run completed by an absolute maestro of the ultra distance.

And fellow ultra runner Sean Brown also showed outstanding grit and determination to complete the 46-mile Montane Spine Summer Sprint in 10 hours and 46 minutes to be ninth male and 16th runner overall.

This challenging race takes participants along the Pennine Way, from Edale to Hebden Bridge, and encompasses a mix of trail and fell running, with an overall climb of 6,617 feet.

Craig Stokes travelled down with Brown to assist him as support crew and be the first to offer congratulations, as all Wizards watched Brown’s tracker dot move with anticipation and beamed with pride at learning the full scale of his accomplishment.

A summary of upcoming Wizards race and social events is: Friday, June 30 - Prom 2 Mile Race; Saturday, July 1 - Vogrie Parkrun Visit; Wednesday, July 5 - Dunnikier Park 5 Mile Race; Friday, July 14 - Open/Social Night.
