Gillian said: "On Fri night I was part of a huge ERN / Jog Scotland team outing taking part in the Black Rock Beach Race. I knew I was on the right train to Fife when I noticed almost all the passengers were wearing trainers!
Kinghorn really welcomes runners. When we got off the train there was
loads of locals out on the street ready to cheer us on. Changing
facilities at the community centre are fine, if a tad crowded. Race
starts in the village and heads onto the beach out to the Black Rock and
back again. We were running through about six inches of water behind the
rock but that's all part of the fun. Finish line is at the top of a
very steep little hill but by the time I got there (43.03) the support
was awesome. All the village kids jumping up and down cheering us on.
Race is sponsored by local pub and almost all the runners adjourned to
the beer garden to enjoy the free bottle of beer the pub gives us prior
to purchasing more beer and a hamburger. It was a lovely balmy night and the atmosphere was superb."
