THE Mighty Deerstalker race took place in the Scottish Borders on Saturday, where runners put their endurance levels to the test on a 10km route which traverses hills, woods, and rivers.
Starting from Traquair House at Innerleithen, the off-road race saw around 1,600 competitors clamber up steep slopes and battle through bogs in the dark.
