The Loch Ness Marathon is the biggest marathon in Scotland and follows a scenic, if slightly lumpy, route from the southern end of Loch Ness to Inverness. We had a good group running, overcoming the logistical challenges of the registration and buses.
Kerry and Nicola did their buddy thing and ran together and finished in the very impressive time of 3:39:10. Beforehand, Kerry had said they'd be running at about 9-minute mile pace, so to actually run at about 8.20-minute pace was a pretty impressive feat. This was only the second time that Kerry and Nicola have run a marathon, and they were delighted to improve their previous best times by more than 10 minutes.
Karen P was next Harrier home, in a time of 3:49:51, followed closely by Allan MacI in 3:53:04, taking about 47 minutes off his time from last year - good effort!. Susan Saunders run her first-ever marathon and finished in a very creditable 4:21:46. Colin T made it round without the help of his regular running partner FionaL, but still managed some sight-seeing while flying the flag for the over-60s with a splendid time of 5:05:42.
