Thursday's run is a recce of the Vertical Mile course, particularly for the benefit of the newer members of the club who may not have done this before (the actual Vertical Mile race is on Monday).
Go through the barrier beside K-Park and then swing around onto the lower path and back towards the bridge at the foot of Newhousemills Rd. Climb Newhousemills Rd and take first left at the top of the hill. Then follow the country road to Auchentiber. Run down to the bottom of the Vertical Mile (the junction of the hill with the slip road) and then have a very easy run all the way back up to the war memorial where the mile finishes. Make sure everyone knows where the finish line is (the gate into the war memorial). It is useful to have run the full route just as a reminder of where the steep bits are and where the flatter bits are so that you can judge your effort during the race. Take the road just before the war memorial and return to the club via more or less the same route. The pace should be easy.
Trophy winners from last year, please bring the trophies back either on Monday night or give to Russell or Frances beforehand and we will present them to the winners after the event back at the club (probably outside the club).
