Organisers are aiming to attract 2,000 people to enter this summer's Scottish Widows Parish Walk, a big increase on last year's record of just over 1,700.
The 85 mile race will start at the National Sports Centre at 8am on Saturday, June 25.
Race director Ray Cox is urging people to get their entries in sooner rather than later:
