The town’s first long distance race ion 30 years takes place on August 25, and is heading for a capacity of 1200.

Organisers say fewer than 50 spots remain, and they are expected to be snapped up very quickly.

This week, the race also unveiled a new major sponsor.

The Kirkcaldy Centre will be the race’s main backer after they struck a deal with owner Tahir Ali who bought the former Postings Shopping Centre just two months ago.

It is his first community since rebranding and repainting the building.
