Administration and presentations appalling, completely disorganised which continued through communication with the organisers

I loved the event! I do think the course was a bit difficult to follow for runners like me that were a little slower and there were times when I was worried I’d get lost. The other thing I’d highlight is how late the music went into the night. I understand the weather led to ...

Amazing first race for me. Well set up with several food and gear vendors on site. Wish the course map (and/or additional race-specific information) were available a bit sooner, but that would've been solely for curiosity -- trail was well marked the day of.

Our 4th Blair Castle Trail Weekender, we just love it. We spend the weekend in the camper enjoying everything the event village offers - great, relaxed atmosphere, sauna/cold dook, delicious food and coffee vans, showers, ceilidh, live bands, Cameron’s great playlist all in the beautiful setting next to Blair Castle. We can’t wait for next year! Cameron and his team do a fantastic job every year, much appreciated.

Excellent tough trail course, with friendly supportive marshals. The route was well marked, no getting lost! Nice medal; would be good to have some drinks/snacks available for finishers though or other goodies. I would prefer to be able to pre-order a race t-shirt in a female fit as well rather than a "unisex" (i.e. male) fit only - happy to pay for a decent race tee or vest. Overall a fun weekend was had, and decent enough selection of catering at the event village.. kids would have loved an ice-cream van though.

All great, except information on needing to pickup a transponder, before running :-)

Just everything. A wonderful, warm, friendly event with real precision planning. I particularly loved my category as a Super Veteran 😂

Great event as usual, thanks! Kids slightly disappointed with the kids race as there was a mix up with the route/ laps so the times don't equate to their run. Would be good to try and adjust this for next year. Thanks again
