The run starts at 11am outside Aqualibrium, Campbeltown on Sunday 25th March and you will have the choice of distances: 1 mile, 3 miles or 6 miles.

Then follow this up with a cool Aquazumbathon. Aquazumba will be half price if you are running too.

Prices for taking part in the run are £6 per adult, £3 per child or £15 for the family. Wee Toon Sports will be kindly selling Sport Relief Socks, Clappers and Deeley Boppers.

Come along and join in a fabulous family day in a picturesque venue while raising money which will change lives!

Since noticed this has already been posted at - viewtopic.php?f=58&t=13523 - thanks Pans Lass, I'm sure it won't do any harm for us to remind everyone again :mrgreen: On-line entries at http://www.sportrelief.com/the-mile

Which reminds us of some photos we took back in 2008 covering a similar event organised by Jackie Fulton - how time flies! :-) See more photos at http://www.campbeltown.info/news/localn ... /index.htm

So come on adults get your sports relief socks pulled up and get entered online www.sportrelief.com and give the whole family a fit & fun day out.

Thanks for the push KF, entries are now moving along nicely. If you find the distance you want to do is full please dont let this put you off, just enter another distance - I can sort it out on the day :D

I had to participate how many would want to run each different distance, so although some distance numbers are almost full we still have space, 43 entered to date :D

Come on Campbeltown, lets make it our biggest mile yet :D

Trying to encourage them to enter online, but be prepared to be overwhelmed on Sunday :D
Hope it all goes well, sorry we won't be there :D

Hi Ags great to see the community totally getting behind charity again :D Entries can be taken online until Saturday night, so please enter this way to ensure a place.

Sports Relief goodies are available in Wee Toon Sports - socks, deely boppers and clappers, a few water bottles all monies from these will go to charity so thanks to Tracy, Linda and the staff for doing this for us.

We will be having a raffle on the day with Sport Relief T-shirts and other prizes up for grabs, so bring a wee penny in your pocket for that :D

A massive well done to the people of The Wee Toon for turning out today to support charity. Just under 100 runners set off this morning - brilliant smiles from every last one of them as they crossed the finishing line from the youngest which were in their prams to the oldest who will remain under his alias of Mr T!! He knows who he is :D

Large amounts of money being raised for charity I know one person has over £400 on their sponsor sheet :D

So to all of you who turned out, bought raffles, bought merchandise etc - thank you, it wouldnt have been the same without you.

An enormous thank you to Tesco Manager Mr David Kay for providing bananas and cereal bars for the goody bags :D

A massive thank you to our Citizen of the Year - Mrs Mairi Kennedy (from the Shoe Shop) for setting all the runners off :D

A huge thank you to Wee Toon Sports for selling the merchandise for us. :D

To the staff at Aqualibrium for their support and for allowing us to use the car park :D

And of course thanks to all the Jogscotland girls for doing the marshalling and putting up with me being bossy as usual:D

Cant wait till 2014 :D :D

Another successful Sports Relief Mile held in the Wee Toon. :D

Well done to everyone who was part of this success , lots of money raised for the charity , a good day was had by all .

A huge Thanks to Fiona28 for organising the event , it all came together well, but then you were there to keep us right :wink:

My apologies to the 6 milers for adding a wee bit extra onto your 'mile' but then I knew you could cope with it :oops:
