Devils Burden Team Relay event
Each year Wee County Harriers send teams to take place in the Devils Burden relay event which is ran on a course around and over the Lomond Hills in Fife. It’s always a great event and once it’s over you get fed back at Falkland Village hall and we usually go for a drink in the wee pub next to it.
This event is more of a club day rather than a competitive run so everyone is welcome.
In fact the organisers deliberately cater for slower teams by having two start times: 9:30 for slower teams and 10:30 for the faster teams.
Can anybody interested in doing this race please let the Secretary, Alastair, know by Friday 15th January so that he can submit teams.
