In short: A very open course and often very windy, PB's potential depends on a lot on the weather and how you tackle the hills.

In short: Adds new meaning to the phrase "I've got wind..."
In full: Recommended. Faster runners won't find this to be a genuine PB course but it is scenic and the race is well organised. As for the weather...(and reading reports from previous years, wind and rain seem to be a permanent feature.)

In full: even though the weather was not the best and the wind atrocious, I was still very glad I did the half. Will be back in 2008.

In short: Stunning scenery, dead friendly, shame about the wind!
In full: My first time running this. Brilliant race, very well organised with lots of friendly marshalls and locals supporting (huge thanks to the lady halfway up the hill in Scotlandwell!) and encouraging. Wind from mile 10 was a killer, so no chance of a PB for me, but all in all a fantastic day. Well done Kinross RR!
