EXCITEMENT is building ahead of the final race in The Northern Scot 10k series.

There had been 130 entries as of Tuesday morning, with the deadline for entering online at midnight on Wednesday.

Race organiser Paul Hughes, of Forres Harriers, is confident there will be the usual surge of entries in the next 24 hours.

A total of 53 runners have completed all three races so far at Nairn, Elgin and Buckie.

Leading the way for the men is Gordon Lennox, Inverness Harriers, who is 1min 10s ahead of Max Abernethy from Fraserburgh.
