Our Reiss leads them all home at Rumgally

Limited entry numbers with staggered starts and social distancing combined to deliver a testing course around the edge of ploughed fields ranging from one lap to four laps.

Running in the opposite direction from two weeks ago the course took the runners alongside the River Eden by Dairsie House followed by a long gradual climb to Rumgally and the finish above Kemback Bridge.

Glenrothes junior Reiss Marshall is in fabulous form just now and was easily the fastest around the 8.8km course clocking 34 minute 59 seconds.

Scottish veteran cross-country and hill champion Heather Anderson, Strathkinness, was again the leading female completing the long race in 37.29.

Thanks have been extended to Dave Francis for organising, Tom Hedley and Olivier Pennachio Torres marshals, timekeeper Wendy Ritchie and rookie photographer Anna Hedley.
