ENTRIES for the historic North Berwick Law Race are already closed for this year’s event, having sold “like hot cakes”, according to race organiser Andy Fraser.

The 5k race, which will see runners begin at the harbour, head to the top of the Law and then back down to the start line to finish, will be held on July 31.

Starting back in 1953, the event has become a staple in the running calender for hill races in Scotland.

The race will get under way at 7.30pm.

Andrew Douglas and Anna Aitken were last year’s overall winners, taking home the male and female crowns respectively.

Angus Wright and Tori Reid won first prize amongst the local entrants (both finishing second in their respective categories).
