Well the Scottish weather was unpredictable as ever for City of Edinburgh Running Festival last night with a miserable start to the evening then the rain clearing away with the sun appearing.
The main event of the evening the IFA Clarity 110m saw Murray Blair a recent New Year Sprint finalist upset the favourite Ian Horsburgh with a storming finish with Marcus Archer taking third.
The 200m was a belter with Euan Smith just edging out Cameron Keelan with backmarker Douglas Young in third.
A large field turned out in the 400m with Lea Stephenson travelling all the way up from the North of England taking the honours with a well judged race from Gordon Armstrong and Angus Johnstone.
Rory Anderson captured the 800m for the second time but it was hard work as Wallace McGown made him fight all the way with a delighted Sarah Ross in 3rd.
The 1600m was a victory for Ryan Milligan from Andrew Gibson and Graeme Gibson.
It was a fantastic finish to the Ladies Race with Mhari Henderson just edging out Rhianna Sterricks with Emily Dagg in third.
The Youths Races gets great support from the crowd and in the 90m A race Neco Lennie was the winner from Eve Rathie and Craig Tindle. The B race saw Rebecca Grieve take the win from Sean McMichan and Ryan McMichan.
In the 200m B race Hope Stewart was a clear winner from Tiegan Gibb and Eve Rathie. The A race was a fantastic finish with Sean McMichan the winner from Samantha Dagg and Kai Lennie.
The ever improving Aaron Glendinning was the victor in the 400m from Tess Renwick and Nico Lennie.
