I’ve run it a few times under their regime I never did it before that. IMHO it’s a well organised fun event on a unique route. If you’re doing it this year you’ll have the pleasure of passing me at the Sandport Street bridge where I am marshalling.

The WoL is probably about 14 miles long in total if you start at the very source in the Pentlands and then go to the very end at Leith Docks.
