There was an excellent turn out of runners with 138 seniors and 67 juniors competing.

Athletes had to brave the cold and wintry conditions on the beach and cliff-top course, with some having to navigate the high tide, and many thanks go to the marshals and helpers on the day.

The race route starts on the dunes at Spittal Point then is followed by a run down Spittal beach, then up onto the cliffs and across the fields down to Cocklawburn. The runners then return back to Berwick by the same route with a stamina sapping finish on the beach and dunes at Spittal.

Winner of the senior men's race was Neil Ford of Vegan Runners in a time of 27.42 minutes, who was closely followed home by runner-up Grant Wilkie of Corstorphine in 27.48.

This pair had created a sizeable lead by the midway turning point and it was still neck and neck until the pair reached the beach when Neil Ford pulled away to win.

Another Corstorphine runner, Christopher O'Brien came in third in 28.02.
First lady was Flora Anderson of Dunbar in 34.36, with Isobel Joiner (unattached) second in 34.43 and Victoria Lomax of Edinburgh AC third in 35.18.

The junior race winner was Cameron Balfour of TLJT, with Rowan Marr of Gala Harriers second and Ruaridh Millar of Edinburgh AC in third.

Junior girls winner was Louise Mercer of Teviotdale, followed by Sophie Collins of Moorfoot and Hannah Bagley of Berwick Harriers.

Norham Running Club members were out in force with 12 runners taking part. First was Christopher Black in fifth position in 28.24 followed by Keith Lyal seventh in 28.41.
