Kirkcaldy Man Completes 100 Mile Ultramarathon

That the Parliament congratulates prostate cancer survivor, John Dryburgh of Kirkcaldy, for completing a 100 mile rat race ultramarathon from Edinburgh Castle to Glamis Castle, including 75 miles within Fife, to raise over £1,100 for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation; notes that John, who is a UESCA-certified ultra-running endurance coach and is now in remission having undergone radiotherapy and hormone therapy after being diagnosed with cancer seven years ago, defied the odds to finish 94th overall out of 538 starters in 29 hours, four minutes and 44 seconds, when 144 rival runners failed to finish; recognises that the 62 year old, who was formerly in the Scots Guards, is now a successful running coach with Kirkcaldy RunSum Running Group, and wishes John all the best in the future after signing up for the 2027 race and leading by example to prove what an individual can accomplish when they put their mind to it.
