In short: Another Brilliant 10k from Balfron Schools
In full: My second year here and I will keep on coming back. Nice scenic out and back course with some 'great' hills on the return. A warm welcome from the local school and flawless organisation as always. Good quality medal with the date embossed on it (better than when its printed on the ribbon I think).

No fuss, you turn up, you are welcomed, you collect number, you run....Simples!

In short: Once again superb!
In full: Definitely my favourite 10K and it just keeps getting better. The marshalls and support were perfect especially for that last climb into the village, the pipers an unexpected treat and the scenery beautiful as ever.

In short: Of feck, not ANOTHER hill!!!
In full: What goes down must go up. Hard course, but a top class event. Superb organisation (yet again) from Colin, Lois, and all the rest.
