Last Sunday, Orange Runners Club held its monthly trail run in Kinross Forrest. 15 members took on a 12.5K effort, climbing a massive 330m in all.

Well done to all who took part, Bradley Tyack was declared the winner.

Just before the Wednesday run, participation medals were handed out to Josephine Kitto (200 runs) and Bill Fairgrieve (1200 runs). Thank you folks, for your continued support of club events.
