Walked up to the top road to watch and cheer on the runners in the annual Loch Ness Marathon. This year there were 5,500 from 30 different countries as well as many locals running for various charities. They are bussed out to the village of Whitebridge from Inverness and then run the 26 miles alongside Loch Ness ending back in town. This run is very popular and is the second most popular marathon world wide. I stood with a local neighbour and friend and we tried to cheer and clap everybody who passed. Alot of the runners had their name on their tops and we had alot of fun encouraging them by name. We also encouraged them by saying that the end was round the next bend and not long to go now even though Inverfarigaig is only 8 miles into the run. There was a good turn out for a small village and one of the spectators had even bought her cat to watch.
