The Foodieash fields will be the setting for the scenic 4.4km run – with the £3 entry donation helping to raise funds for Prostate Scotland.

The even honours lifelong Falkland resident Bob Stark, whose favourite charity was Prostate Scotland.

The run starts at 2pm and is open to all abilities.

There are no changing facilities, no toilets, modest prizes… just a good run around lovely countryside and a natter with other runners!

There will also be a tribute at the start to World and UK veteran record holder George Black, Kingskettle, who passed away last December.
