Last October, the organising committee of the festival made an appeal for volunteers to come forward as there was a danger that the event would have to be cancelled. Charitable trust, Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, the leading provider of sports and leisure services, has had a long-standing relationship with the festival offering support from its Glenrothes facility, Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre, and helped put out the call for volunteers.
Organisers are thanking those who have volunteered at what will be the festival’s 40th anniversary and are gearing up for a bumper event on June 18th.
John Vaughan, Chair of the Olympiad Committee said: “We are very pleased to see the Glenrothes Road Running Festival up and running again after a break of three years and hope there will be runners in all the races as this is the 40th anniversary of the event that originally started in 1983 as a half marathon.”
He added: “We would like to see as many young people from all the local schools running again in either the 200m junior jog, the 2k fun run or the 4k races. I’d like to thank all those who have come forward as volunteers to support the event on the day.”
