» Great race, great organisation, great atmosphere and support

» Yet again the best organised race in the best location within the whole of the UK

» Just Brilliant
In full: I always worry when I run a race one year and love it, that when I go back the next year, it's not as good as I remember. Not so with this one - fabulous from start to finish.

» The trip across the dunes was tough, but the breathtaking scenery once you got out there really took your mind off your legs.

» I've run lots of races where you pass locals who don't have a clue what's going on - not so in Campbeltown where everyone had a cheer and a "well done" for the runners.

» Another one to add to the Permanent Fixtures list on my racing calendar!

» We travelled from West yorkshire for this race and were not disappointed. Well worth the trip, everyone should do this race once. The marshalls and organisation were brilliant. The pipe band at the start was a great touch. It was if the whole of the town and given it their full support. Well done!!!!!!

» Coolest ever medal (pottery) topped off with some excellent post race food then off to the Ceilidh

» Second time I've run it. Hugely enjoyable once again and I broke my pb by over 4 mins. Off-road/Beach section tough but otherwise undulating roads. Fantastic party atmosphere at finish and organisers do a fabulous job

» Great atmosphere, great scenery, one of my all time favourites
In full: Was definately worth travelling all the way up from Birmingham for !! The atmosphere and organisation where of the best I have ever known and the encouragement from the crowd kept me going even when my legs didnt want to. Will be back next year!

» What an alternative half marathon! I had only ever done city half's before and this was something really different. I really enjoyed (most of) it but found the cross country section really tough. Once on the beach it was fab, but getting on to and off of the beach was horrible and ultimately I suffered for setting of a bit to quickly. Organisation was 1st class.

» Like many, I read the RW reviews last year and thought this would be nice to do. Little did I realise just what a blast it was! Scenery, friendliness, organisation all first rate - a credit to the committee, the town and to running in general. Particularly nice that the asked the crowd to stay and cheer the last few runners. A real credit. Make the trip - it's worth it!

» 2nd year of doing race, would definately do it again, well worth the travel. well organised and very friendly. marshalls were fantastic and kept spirits high

» Great atmosphere, great views, well organised, well worth trying.
In full: I did the 10K. Walked it last year but have lost weight and jogged it. Knocked off 16mins on last years time. Great crowd, great support. As a beginning runner of 56 I want to thank all concerned for a great day. It has started me on the path to enjoying running. Something I thought I would hate doing.

» This in an EVENT as much as a race, a classic in my view, funky medal too.

» Fantastic event, twin 10K & half marathon great idea with a mass start of both - did not realise 1/2 marathon runners go so fast from the start.

» 10K for me, course great with the 2 loop backs - allowing masses of encouragement from fellow friends and runners. Marshalling and race organisation superb -coupled with the genuine warmth and support of the wee toon folk!

» 10K course very quick smashed my PB with a sub 39 run.

» Event organisers have a good course (10k). A couple of cut backs ensures that you can encourage friends and competitors. Post race hospitality tent superb with hot drinks sandwiches and lovely danish pastries (included in price). Competitors supporters and local crowd hung around for 3 hours until the very last half marathon runner came home and what a cheer he got. I can't enthuse about this event enough. The Saw Doctors played in the local hall on the friday, I believe free minibus trips were offered on saturday to the Mull of Kintyre, a pasta party on the saturday evening, race on sunday followed by a ceilidh on the sunday night. So if you fancy a weekend away in 2008 get your application in early. The event will be massively over subscribed as this years was.

» Just perfect, everything I'd hoped for and more. I'll definitely be back!

» Inspirational!
In full: I did this last year - it was my first half marathon then - it was wonderful in every respect. This year it was a all a bit bigger and better except the course which could notn be surpassed. The weekend was a real package - the Saw Doctors, pre-race Pasta, a wonderful race and a Ceilidh that we will remember forever. Well done to Campbelltown

» Absolutely wonderful
In full: My first race ever! I now have a very high benchmark for future runs. Great atmosphere and very friendly. The off road bit was a challenge, but well worth it for the beach views. I only wish I could have stayed for more of the entertaiment.

» One of the best races around (if not THEE best)!!
In full: So glad I chose this as my first half marathon, what a wonderfully scenic route, and the weather was on our side! I did the 10K last year and was extremely impressed by the fantastic organization, marshalls, and the warm welcome from the locals...and it was even better this year! Both runners and spectators are realy well lookeed after, and the massage was great! Truly one of my favourite events, will be back next year.

» Fantastic - brilliant organisation, very supportive run, beautiful
In full: My first half marathon, and the other runners were very cheery and supportive, as were the organisers (from the entry stage to the ceilidh), not to mention the locals and the supporters. The route was good, slightly up on the first half, interesting on the way to the beach and back, and the beach itself was beautiful and fine for running. The latter stages were slightly down - just the way you want it! All in all an exceptional run and worth the journey. We went en famille and had a good weekend - lucky with the weather, which helped.

» The local community make the race a wee bit special

» Very well organised, great atmosphere, superb refreshments afterwards!
In full: Second year at this race, 1st time on 1/2 marathon route which was beautiful especially the section along the beach even if it was a tough section. Hope to join in with pre-race pasta party and post-race ceilidh next year

» Fantastic!!
In full: I have just had the best weekend at this event. I travelled up with 12 other girls and the whole event from the pasta party to the ceilidh was great. The post race sandwiches and danish pastry were great, the bands at the ceilidh were amazing - oh and the 10k race was great too!! Well done to the organisers - you should all be very proud of yourselvesxx

» Better than any mass participation run

» Magnificent MOK again
In full: brillliant day again - great organisation and the weather was stunning given we had all thought it would be a howling wet gale.Registration went like clockwork - no queues - enough toilets. Great support throughout from teh marshalls and locals cheering everyone on. Really friendly race even for us snails near the back.Difficult to do a PB but i shaved 8 minutes off last years debacle. The route down to the beach was difficult with the wind providing a very effective non-surgical facelift. However, will probably do this again next year - thanks to all for a superb day again.

» Thanks to all the organisers and marshals, etc for a great event held today - even the weather cleared up in time for the start of the race. It's my first 10k race and has whetted my appetite for more - managed 58mins 10 secs so delighted to break my 1 hour target time. Hope to see you again next year!

» Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed today's event - not just the run itself but the whole event. All the marshals were great and very encouraging to all the runners - they deserve medals themselves. I haven't been running that long - maybe 4 years - but at any of the races I have been to I have never seen such a fantastic spread afterwards!
