Training track for top Scots athletes faces major delay

The revamp of the running track at Queens Park in Inverness, crucial for athletes like Megan Keith, is facing significant delays. Originally scheduled for completion next month, the Highland Council announced that new defects in the track’s base layer may prevent the new surface from being laid this year. The track has been closed since early June for a £650,000 upgrade. Inverness Harriers, the local athletics club, has expressed concerns over the impact on training and competition plans for the upcoming season, as they seek temporary solutions while the facility remains unusable.
