Stornoway Half Marathon record still belongs to Oor Wullie
The Stornoway Half Marathon record held by Lewis runner William MacRury still stands - but only just after the weekend’s event.
Saturday’s triumvirate of Half Marathon, 10K and Fun Run has been tagged as the biggest ever race in Hebridean history in terms of participation numbers and action on the day didn’t disappoint.
Around 550 runners pulled on their runners and vests for the various events in what could be the biggest ever road running event ever in the Western Isles.
