A large contingent of Haddies headed north at the weekend to enjoy the Loch Ness Festival of running.

The tough, undulating marathon course sees runners bused to the far end of Loch Ness, they then follow the road along the south side of the Loch all the way back into Inverness finishing by the banks of the River Ness.

Haddies finishing times were: Mike Reilly 3.09.40 distance PB, D. Hay 3.45.01 distance PB, J. Hay 3.49.24 distance PB, R. Young 3.51.56, R. McDonald 4.13.25 distance PB, K. Hay 4.17.27, A. Galloway 4.47.18, J. McDonald 5.13.05 and G. Hay 5.38.38.

As well as the marathon, a 10K also took place on Sunday.
