The under-17s have the added bonus of running in the International under-20 race and will be up against some of the top international distance runners in that age group.
The likes of Mo Farah, Callum Hawkins, Laura Muir and Steph Twell have already confirmed their intention to compete in the senior international races.
Having completed their events, the East Sutherland youngsters will have the opportunity to watch these exceptional athletes perform live.
The Holyrood races will be shown live on the BBC on January 7, so watch out for the East Sutherland hoodies.
