Annual Kilchoan Runathon

From our senior Sports Editor:

The Annual Kilchoan Runathon will be on Saturday 20th May with the start line outside the Kilchoan Hotel and the course taking in some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country.

This year there is a choice of three races. The 5K run to the Community Garden at the Sonachan is for all the family and you can decide to run, jog or just take a healthy walk. There will be transport to bring you back. For a more challenging workout you could do the 10K by running back to the finishing line outside the Kilchoan Hotel. The Kilchoan Half Marathon takes you to the lighthouse at Ardnamurchan Point and then back to Kilchoan Hotel. The starting gun will be at 12 noon for all runners.

Full details of the race and an entry form are available for download here. For those wanting to come up and stay there are plenty of accommodation options available here. Entry to the race is free. We already have ten entries so why not sign up and help make the Kilchoan Runathon a major event on the international running calendar?
