Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week is next week, with a programme of events at KGS. Plenty of athletics involvement and interesting events for everyone: full details at www.orkney.gov.uk/latest-news/scottish-women-and-girls-in-sport-week-turns-10-with-a-free-program...
TRAINING CANCELLED: Due to a combination of high winds, forecast rain and poor visibility on the track, tonight's training will not go ahead (primary was already off, so this is cancellation of secondary/senior training). Apologies to all, hopefully the rest of the week's sessions will be okay and we'll be back to Tuesdays from next week, 3rd November.
The results of our road running series in 2026 are now on the Power of 10 (which has merged with Run Britain Rankings and now covers road, cross country and track and field). These cover all our events this year with the exception of the Shapinsay 10k (which is classified as a mixed terrain rather than road 10k) and the relay portion of the Sunnybank Half.
