A field by Shanwell, converted into a sports stadium for one day. The tents and banners are put up along the finish run in, they provide a base for leaving kit, getting out of the weather and a means of showing support - always welcome at the end of a long run. Although almost entirely ignored by the sports media, this is one of the biggest sports events in Scotland, attracting over 3000 competitors over seven days of competition. (There are races on the rest day as well as the main six days).
