Part of the Tour of Fife (Fife's Premier Running Event).  Third in a series of 5 races covering Fife. The Alpe d'Huez of the Tour!!!

An uphill only race against the clock - short but tough. A firm favourite with competitors and spectators alike, the time trial is a very popular and interesting stage of the Tour.

Each competitor sets off individually on a timed run starting from the foot of Purin Den, up through the woods and lucky white heather to an encouraging finish at the East Lomond radio mast. The route is entirely uphill on good quality tarmac road.

Enjoy the lovely views of the Fife countryside from the top once you have recovered.

Car-sharing is essential at this race as parking is very limited.
