MOKRun voted the second best half marathon in Scotland!

[Ship called Dignity]

Mull of Kintyre Run has just been voted the second best half -marathon in Scotland in 2006 - with only Glasgow being voted better!! MOKRUN was overall one of the Top 100 Races of any length in the UK for 2006, as voted by the Runners World Magazine. This is based on the views of participants as well as the editorial team at the magazine. Considering that there were 3,000 events to choose from, we are delighted that our event has been recognised in this way in its first ever year. The Mull of Kintyre Run was also listed as one of the Best Hidden Gems, scoring a perfect 100% from runners who who would do the race again. For full details see the February 2007 edition of Runners World.

Tom Barbour of the MOKRUN committee added "We hope to run an even better race in 2007 and would encourage runners to enter feedback on the race to the Runners World Event Ratings - see http://www.runnersworld.co.uk"

Yep, it is great news and will more than make up for the slight disappointment of the Edinburgh Marathon being shifted to the same day....THEY will shift next year!!

Maybe Runners World will send one of their writers to see what all the fuss is about

Well i just registered online for this year's run. I thoroughly enjoyed it last year- the only thing i would maybe change is the (very very) uneven section linking the roadway to the beach section.
