Despite this array of talent, the event is also an open event and alongside the longer race an open 50km event will be staged which also incorporates the Scottish championships.
Race co-ordinator Adrian Stott says “The numbers competing in ultra events is at an all time high from elite runners down to mere mortals just wanting to challenge themselves and step up from the standard marathon distance.
