He said: “I used to live in Inverness and I actually took part in this event when I was seven or eight.

"I think I did around 22 minutes on that occasion.

"I still have family here so it was good to come back and be part of the running festival after all those years.

"I ran a personal best 14:56 last weekend so I was hoping to be quicker today but I was out on my own so I’m happy enough with the time.”
