In short: A very scenic marathon with an excellent atmosphere
In full: An excellent event, very well organised. Plenty of marshals. Plenty of spectators cheering us up. The weather was splendid. A mild sunny day with the temperature around 16C. There were plenty of water stations and lucozade. And, the finish at Queen's Park track was wonderful. Definitely, it's an event that has entered my calendar from now on. Till next year

In short: A fantastic race, day and brilliant marathon. My 2nd mara and I loved it even with the hills!!! t
In full: I had read the reviews from last year, heard from other runners how great this race was even with the dreaded hills!! But it surpassed all my expectations, the weather was the icing on the cake this year after last years torrential rain.
I LOVED IT, even though my legs were like jelly in the last few miles!!
The atmosphere was great, it felt like you were running with old friends to keep you going, talking to all different people along the way. The scenery was out of this world, I'm scottish and it still takes my breath away. The hills were hard but I just walked up them as fast as I could. One day I may manage to 'run' up them but not just yet!! But in saying that my 'fast' walking was still keeping up with some runners so a bit of walking aint all bad folks..
A great finish, amazing goody bag, great T Shirt, all in all I'll be back next year for sure. Well done to Baxters, all the marshalls and Inverness for a memorable experience and a PB.......

In short: was my first race, with quite a mix of up and down hills to keep things interesting but more down hills than up. very well organised, scenic race. it is possibe for a first timer although I think it attracts a amount of speedy cluby type runners.
In full: so pleased I did this race. I highly recommend it.
