Literally running throughout the day the 155th New Year Sprint will mean the Kersiebank Road stadium – except the gym – will be closed to non-competitors.

A handicapped race for professional and amateur athletes of all standards and ages – as long as they are 16 and over – this historic event has been taking place since its inception in 1870.
