The event will be held close to Kirkcaldy Rugby Club and we thank club members for their support. The first race will commence at 11 00. At 10 50 the 8th GOGA in Fife Walk in the Park for local registered GOGA participants will start the ball rolling. Thereafter races will be run over 500m, 1K, 2K and 3K.
