27:13 "If I can see it, it can't be that bloody far!" That cracked me up, haha.

Absolutely amazing to watch, I wanted to cry when one of the runners said "all the hurting is healing, it clears your mind of all of the bad thoughts"

Great Doc, well filmed of some of the finest places in Scotland. Recognised all these lovely spots having backpacked and cyclepacked Scotland over many years. Can't imagine running it though ! However, good to be self contained, camping wild over multi day treks. That shot up Loch Hourn from near Barrisdale is lovely, Kinloch Hourn to Barrisdale is a classic walk. Nicely organised race and friendly participants with everyone looking after each other. Thanx, enjoyed watching this. MS, Scotland.

I'm sorry, but this route is not designed for racing, especially when most of the runners walk anyway. I find it totally disrespectful to the native land and harsh environment of Cape Wrath to turn it into a circus for someone's self-centred ego on the global stage.

I'm sorry you feel that way, and I'm sorry you don't understand the mindset of these athletes
