What participants say
★★★★★
Organised like a big event whilst feeling like a local event! Coffees available before, fish & chips after, and a piper to get us to the start line
★★★★★
The support from us slower runners from the faster ones once they turned round was something I have never experienced before
★★★★★
Can't believe this was the first time this race was organised! It was so good - from the encouraging, informative and welcoming pre-race emails, to the pipeband marching us out to the start line!
