Can't beat sharing the miles with someone. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Maybe it’s your favourite running buddy, the friend you signed up with, or someone you met somewhere along the route and ended up running beside.

And crossing that finish line together? Even better.

Tag someone you’ve shared the miles with, or someone you’d love to experience Loch Ness with.

General entries are now open... just saying. 😉👉 https://tinyurl.com/ENTER-LNM2027
