A RECORD number of local runners look set to tackle the gruelling 35.5 mile Speyside Way Race ultramarathon this August.

These shoes were made for running - Speyside Way Race organiser Sarah Louise Grigor, pictured here with volunteer marshal Bethany Grigor and Regeneration group chairman Gordon McDonald, is looking forward to welcoming a bumper group of runners in August.

A total of 104 runners have already thrown their hats into the ring ahead of the August 19 event, which will get underway from Cragganmore distillery near Ballindalloch before the welcoming sight of the finishing tape at the Speyside Way start/terminus in Buckie.
