Happy New Year listeners! In Episode 162 we celebrate the best of Scotland with the TRS Awards of 2021. In what is the most shambolic awards ceremony you're likely to hear we've got more categories than a cross country meet, culminating in the TRS Runner of the Year as voted for by you!

We've got results from the class Tilli 10k and our festive running ramblings. Thanks to Jim Glennie who appears on this episodes cover in the , spoiler, TRS Shorts Photo of the Year!

We want to dedicate this episode to our friend Marie Dobson who sadly passed away far too early from secondary breast cancer at the age of 34. Marie was a talented athlete with Aberdeen AAC and recently set up her charity Run4Marie, aimed at raising funds for her treatment to prolong her life. She will be hugely missed by the running community and has inspired so many people with her bubbly and positive outlook on life.

To celebrate this episode, we have none other than the European Cross Country Champion and - more importantly - reigning TRS Runner of the Year, Megan Keith on the show!

Tom returns to the island and recaps on his *spoiler alert* DNF at Valencia Marathon and Kyle talks about his DQ at the Maxi Madeira Ultra. We also chat about the recent race results, including Kyle’s Dava Way 50k and finish off talking about TRS Runner of the Year 2021 nominations – coming soon!

In episode 160, Kyle dons his RD hat and previews this weekend's Dava Way ultra marathon while Tom's road to Valencia continues albeit bumpier than hoped.

We touch on the Scottish National Short Course 4K resuts and reminise about stag dos, inspired by this week's Shorts Sighted!
