Just to say thanks to all those who took part and to those who supported by sponsoring, stewarding, tea making etc

still trying to track down a couple of the winners!

How about making this an annual event? independant of Sports Relief... organised by local volunteers, the same ones would be ideal! with entry money and sponsorship money going to local charities.

Anyone could run a mile on the spur of the moment or the more serious runners could train hard for it.......have a real competitive edge at the sharp end of the race and fun runners and 50lb rucksack carrying soojurs at the back.

The same Saturday morning at the start of the Glasgow Fair would be perfect, lots of people about and a reasonable chance of good weather....., a measured course, maybe right down the Main Street, round Kinloch Park or some such prominent route.


It could be promoted heavily on Argyll FM and The Courier.

It could be great, we can make Campbeltown the running capital of Scotland!
Of course, we need a 400m running track as well........

Worth a thought anyway.
What do y'all think?

I like the idea of supporting local charities to be honest but wouldn't this just clash with the Sports Relief mile?

No harm having two. Anyway, 4th Gen, you can organise it - good idea!

Just looking back and it was a cracking day - weather was cracking.

In fact I have quickly uploaded these photos -

The Sports Relief Mile is not on every year and definitely not scheduled for 2007...I was kinda thinking the lovely ladies and gentlemen who organised it in 06 might do the same this year.....

And whose that wilukin' fellow in the blue vest?
