In full: People have mentioned the buses, well I was sat next to the toilet on one of those buses...rancid!
I was sad to leave Inverness, the event is so well organised, such a great course, such great support from organisers and local villages, great value for money. This is the second time I have ran this event and I will be back for more, I have absolutely no gripes, even had a bar at the end, a pint of sheep shaggers went down a treat....brilliant,brilliant,brilliant!!

In short: Seemed tougher than last year, those ploughed fields!
In full: Great race well organised.
There was a bit of tape missing in the last field, didn't know whether I was on the right track.
Liked the idea of the field with the horses, which were instructed to stampede the runners.
This gave it a krypton factor feel..
Excellent race good value for money.
Please tie the horses up next year!!

Yes, there was the start/finish cock up, but credit to the organisers for relocating the finish speedily enough.

Liked the hot drink at the finish, we were even allowed hot chocolate!
