Happy Runners!

Here are some of the responses that we've received so far to the 2011 event!



  • Jrk Rao 10 August 11:37
    Back in India after a great time on Islay. Definitely the friendliest marathon I've run so far! Many thanks to Kate and everyone else.



  • Hi Kate,
    Once again this was a great race--as well as a lovely weekend. Your whole team did a marvellous job, much of which most of us don't actually see. The fact that it all ran smoothly from a competitor's point of view tells it's own story ie. the detailed planning & preparation within your community.
    Much appreciated, I've already booked my accommodation for next year.
    Cheers, David Adams( vet ), Hamilton Harriers.



  • Dear Kate and Margaret,
    Thanks again for organising such a wonderful event last Saturday; those of us from Calderglen Harriers who attended enjoyed ourselves so much that we are already certain we will be back next year, in fact, I don't know how we managed to let 5 years slip by without attending. Please also pass our thanks on to Ardbeg for their extremely generous sponsorship; the prize giving was amazing!
    Regards
    Alan
