 We are a small  community and this is our big day .Please enter and share it  with us. We have to limit our  runners to 300 so we will fill this event quickly ( ususally we are full by New Year).

The event is organised by locals who try their  best to make this a great event. The course is out and back,and chip timed. Registration is in the  village hall  between 11 and 1pm.The race begins behind the Primary School turning left onto Station Road for just over half a mile turning right onto the old railway track (predominantly firetrack and flat). The halfway turning point is at Barbadoes Cottage (situated on the old railway track). On the return the course finishes at the school. The race is run under UK Athletics Rules and is a Scottish Athletics permit event. We have  first aiders, marshals and Lomond  Mountain rescue team.
