There was still more than one runner going strong I believe, and the event had been advertised to run from 19/7 to 23/7, although as always with these events you have no idea how long they'll last. Was it weather related ( some horrendous rain/lightening/etc in some parts of Scotland), or a medical emergency, or equipment malfunction, something else ? Just curious, never heard of these being stopped before, so must have been something serious.

Remember running an ultra where one of the leaders had gone home, showered, changed, then came back looking extremely fresh and smart to see the last few across the line (there were fewer than 15 runners, to give that a little context)
