Help appreciated on the night. I couldn't have managed without help from Doug Gunstone on Monday night as runners poured over finish line at some points. Any help with marshalling appreciated, the course actually takes care of itself, but encouragement for runners is always valued.

14th Nov. An an extremely wet, blowy morning went out with my Garmin Man, John Scott. The course is measured at 3.14 miles (so approx 5km). Starting underneath the bridge (off road) the opening 100m is uphill, thereafter the cycle path is metalled and flat. A small loop at the turning point with some street lighting. Then return along cycle path to downhill finish. A full new moon starts that night and there will be reflected light from that wee place across the Tay. Do bring a head-torch or torch though.
Apres ski (results announced) will be in the Newport Hotel. We are not into lots of prizes as this is a charity event, If anyone wants to donate a bottle or chocs then we will be grateful.
