| Comments: | Hi everyone!
Great reading. Really Looking forward to August! Had a favor to ask I will be coming in from Texas and was wondering if anybody was willing to help by driving crew for myself and my friend who is also racing? Can't wait to see Scotland! All responses are appreciated! Cheers Kim |

| Comments: | Hi, the race looks great! I would love to be a part of it. I had a couple of quick questions, Are there two openings left? If so myself and my best friend would be coming from the United States. He would be coming from California and myself from Texas. Do you have to have a third person who is not involved in the race for your crew? Thanks so much for your reply!

| Comments: | Hi Gary,
Was wondering if could ask you guys a favour....i fully intend racing the Devil again in the coming year but my cash and time at the moment are being stretched to the limit due to the matter of rowing the Atlantic in December. Would you be good enough to keep a place open for me in the race until i come back at the end of January? Even space 13! would be welcome as im not superstitious (..yet!!) Hope you are all well and look forward to seeing you all again next year. ALL THE BEST DON....P.S. if you want to keep tabs on how im doing www.oceanrowevents.com , we start on the 15th of Dec |

| Comments: | This was my first long distance run and I absolutely loved it, big thanks to Garry and others who helped make it the successful day it was.
Thanks to my trainer Sandy Jack as without his guidance I wouldn't have prepared properly and most definetly wouldn't have completed the distance. Will be back again next year as the event and the people I met whilst running were top notch, especially the RAF guys. See you all again soon and thanks again cheers James Quigley |

| Comments: | Wow what a beautiful day!!
Although maybe a wee bit warm, for running 43miles. Thanks to all who gave up there Saturday to help run the race especially Mr & Mrs Milne, Shame you could'nt run Garry. This was my first race of this type and i enjoyed it immensely. From the early morning nerves looking at some of the caliber of runnner's and thinking i'm far to young for this! then the friendly banter with my new found friend Craig, to the midday cramps and sweats, the whole day was excellent. Cheers support team without you none of this would have been possible. Definetly recommended Thanks agian Ben Newton |

| Comments: | Hi Garry,
Thanks for a great race. I ran with my mate Phil until I couldn't run anymore. We ran out of water in the final wood section.Shame we couldn't have crossed the line together. I walked the the last mile but it did not ruin a great day. We will be back to have another go I am sure. Can we order another T-shirt? Simon |

| Comments: | Congratulations to everyone for completing the 2007 event. 53 runners started at Tyndrum and 49 finished. This was probably the toughest race to date as the heat was relentless. As usual the backup crews did an outstanding job in supporting their competitors so a big "Well done" to you. We hope to see you all again next year. If you have any race tales or photographs from the event please feel free to send them to us and we will put them on our website for everyone to see.

| Comments: | Just over 10 hours to the start of the 2007 race. Weather for Saturday is hot, hot, hot (well what do you expect from the Devil?) so remember to keep fully hydrated, use sun cream if you burn as easily as I do, and if you can bare the extra weight it could be worth carrying a throw-away camera to take some pictures of the glorious scenery as you trudge your merry way to Fort William.
See you all tomorrow and best of luck. |

| Comments: | Another wonderful experience with unrivalled scenery and cameraderie. It might have been cool and breezy, but I still managed to get bitten by the midges! The little shower of rain after Kinlochleven came at just the right time to invigorate me for the last ten miles.
Thanks to Jean Gus and Alison for their support and encouragement throughout the race, though I could do with some sympathy for my tired and aching legs. Already looking forward to next year. Gary, you and the organisers / marshalls / helpers should be proud of what is a wonderful event. |

E:) ps Seeing all these sleepy looking individuals crawling out of cars at the Green Welly, Tyndrum at 05:00h was a pretty surreal sight! |

| Comments: | I hope you all enjoyed the day yesterday, the weather certainly improved from the initial gloomy start! I want to say a big thank you to the Don Lennox ladies crew, without whom I would not have had the food set up on time for the rest of the participants and back-up crews who were already trickling in!! The pace this year was too fast for a twelve o'clock arrival at the Nevis Centre...earlier next year!! See you then. |

| Comments: | In the absence of any other form of communication, this is a message for Vince Thwaites, who I first encountered at Tyndrum while marshalling the 2005 WHW race, and "bumped" into again during a rapid decent of Grey Knotts on Saturday at the SLMM. Vince - the moment of madness has not quite passed, so if you are still short of a back-up runner for this year's Devil, get in touch!
Failing that, I'd consider marshalling if any additional help is needed on the day |

| Comments: | Hello All,
Hope you are well and at the peak of physical fitness. I was contacted recently by a runner who is in dire need of a backup crew. If anyone would be interested in helping out a fellow sportsman can you drop me an email and I'll forward it to the person in question. Thanks very much in advance.

| Comments: | Hi Ali. I hope to arrange a training run over the latter part of the course nearer the time. Dates etc. will be placed on the website and everyone is welcome whether competing in the D.O.T.H or not.
It will be at a sedate pace (as fast as the slowest runner) as its not worth risking injury prior to the race, also, it's nice to get a chance to admire the scenery for a change. |

| Comments: | Sigh! I see the 'must have support' rule still stands. I'd really love to do this event but this rule puts me off as it does with the WHW. it's dificult to muster support from running friends when they would do the route too given the chance. I can see the concern for safety but even on Devils Staircase it is dificult to get lost the path is now so obvious even in bad weather. I ve certainly done many a cat A race where it is considerably easier to get lost but without the support requirement. As for injury surely fellow runners could assist in this case or at least advise the next checkpoint. Then presumably it would be a job for the MRT people. |
