Tommy Angus' Marathon

From Gael Cameron

Tommy Angus ran the Loch Ness Marathon on 3rd of October to raise funds for the Kilchoan Playpark.

The Baxters Loch Ness Marathon is recognised as one of the UK's leading marathons. It follows a spectacular point-to-point route through stunning Highland scenery, along the south-eastern shores of Loch Ness, and then crosses the River Ness to finish along the river at Bught Park.

Tommy made a huge effort to travel all the way from Lauder on the borders up to Fort Augustus to compete in the race. He took part along with 2,488 other runners and came in with a fantastic time of 4 hours, 1 minute and 41 seconds, placing him 996th.

Tommy, who has very close connections to Kilchoan, did the run to raise funds for the playpark in memory of Caleb Cameron. Gael, Bert & Holly Cameron along with all the members of the Kilchoan Playpark Committee and everyone else who is supporting this cause would like to extend the Biggest Thank You to Tommy for putting himself through the pain barrier to complete the marathon and raise more than £2,000 for the Playpark.

Thank You also to everyone who sponsored Tommy and encouraged him on his way to having another marathon under his belt.

Donations towards the playpark are still being gratefully received and can be placed online at kilchoanplayparkfund.weebly.com
