Cheers for organising an amazing event. First half for me, totally chuffed to sneak in under 2hrs. Only possible due to the incredible on course support and the amazing volunteers. See you next year! πŸ…πŸ» Richard Boyd

I was a few minutes off my target time, the first two KM’s were slow out of the blocks and then the hills played a part, but what a great race, I enjoyed it so much. Matt Telfer-Maleary

Massive shout out to the volunteers, cadets, medics, members of the public etc etc, so supportive all the way round. I will definitely be back in 2025. Emma Telfer-Maleary ❀️
