In 2001, I lined up with another 705 runners to race in the Vale of Leven 10k. I had no idea then that I would be back a decade later with 54 of those runners. The course has changed significantly over the years, as have some of our performances. Many have slowed with the onset of time, others have remained about the same, despite the passing of years, and a few have actually improved. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know quite a lot of those 54 runners over the years, I wonder how many of us will be lining up at the Start Line in 2021?
I know that some of the other 651 runners that lined up with the famous 55 are still racing but where have all the others gone?
