The Isle of Skye is a beautiful island in the northwest of Scotland. It´s really stunning and worth to travel to! The start and finish of the half marathon is in Portree, the capital of the island, which is a very cosy and small town. Everything is easy. The expo takes place at the high school which is a 5 minutes walk from the centre. That´s also where the start and finish is. The race was sold out which means that 1000 runners were registered. The atmosphere at the start was very nice. Warm up was offered and a band of typical Scottish bagpipe players lead the runners to the start blocks. The race started on time at 10.30 am. The course was quite beautiful and very hilly which made it tough. Actually I expected the course to be even more scenic. All runners got a medal as well as an orange T-Shirt (why are the T-Shirts always orange?) and a certificate.
