Tell us, if you were to take part, what would you dress up as?
It was an unforgettable weekend in Inverness for @bigger.than.running as Aubrey and his son Josiah took on the Baxters River Ness 10K & 5K, celebrating major milestones in their running journey. Not only did Aubrey smash his PB in the 10K, Josiah completed the 5K and came away with a new PB.
Like with all our participants, the weekend was about more than just running though. Between the race expo, the electric atmosphere and the scenery, it turned out to be a special experience for father and son to share together.
Pondering taking part in the 10K? Take a look at their brilliant footage for a little taster of what you can expect:
