Hundreds turned out as the Barry Buddon FAST Half Marathon took place in Carnoustie on Sunday.
The event saw runners tackle a 13 mile closed-road course through the Barry Buddon Training Area, known as one of Scotland’s flattest half marathons. Participants enjoyed scenic coastal views and a largely flat route, ideal for personal bests.
Organisers described the race as “an important annual milestone on the Scottish and UK running calendar”.
The Courier photographer Kim Cessford was there to capture all the action.
