Returned for the 3rd time to my favorite race, an
undulating course across spectacular, rugged scenery at
the most North Westerly point in the UK. The marathon
completes a week of races ranging from a beach race up to
the marathon. This time I only made it in time for the
big one, but was chuffed to have won a tough race with a
course PB by 7 minutes.
This is one of the most enjoyable events, because of the
spectacular, remote location and the unique aspect of a
boat ride at mile 22. The clock is stopped as you are
whisked across the estuary, from Cape Wrath to the
mainland, here the clock is restarted and you climb the
last 4 miles to Durness. It is also made great by
wonderful organisation and the friendliest group of
entrants who come year after year. Thoroughly
recommended.
