This race is always fun, and I never miss a chance for some fancy dress which is encouraged with a discounted entry fee. Some lovely support on the route from locals and from Yan and Allan. The course starts in Malleny Park and heads up through the village of Balerno, along the Rigg Road and back down through Cockburnhill, finishing back in the Rugby Club grounds. The total distance is about 6 miles with about 397ft of climb. We were quite lucky with the weather apart from the deluge that came down at the finish and caused us to retreat into the rugby club for the buffet.
