A well organised event with a good medal and t shirt. It is a hilly course. I did the 10km and the start leads almost immediately into a climb which goes up maybe half of the distance to Arthur’s seat and lasts for maybe a 1.5km. The views at the top are well worth it and what goes up does come down! A small run feel with limited event village facilities but everyone was super friendly and supportive. It you like hills, this one is for you !
