IT'S READY, steady, go as the Meedies Running Club warm up for their annual charity relay race. 

The event, which last year saw a whopping £1,200 raised for the local schools and nurseries, returns to Lochore Meadows Country Park on Friday, July 5 at 7pm, through to Saturday, July 6 at 7pm. 

The event has been running for quite a few years and thousands of pounds has been raised for charities and local causes. Not only do they raise funds, but they also collect food and toiletries for local food provision which is then distributed throughout the community.
