Have run this race before and remains one of my favourites. First of all it's quite late in the year, unusual for Scotland, and it therefore allows me to fit in another race. Mainly, however, this is one of the friendliest races you can ever do. The volunteers and staff are so helpful and make it that bit easier. My main negative is that they make you wait quite a bit between registration closing and the race starting. This was quite difficult for a busy registration, due to the weather few runners wanted to outside instead preferring to stay inside and warm. It would be much easier uf there was another way to register and pick up the number in advance. The race though is so friendly and good natured; that I will recogend it for another year.
