The race has been an annual event, in some form, for over since the 1950s. Serious competitors and fun-runners alike have enjoyed this well-organised; clearly marked; safe and marshalled road race.
… and for those thinking about competing in a 10k run for the very first time, the Isle of Bute has to be the perfect choice for your inaugural race.
Each competitor will finish with a goodie bag and be provided with refreshments. We use a chip-to-chip timing system enabling each competitor to retrieve their official time immediately upon completion of the race.
All in all a truly fun experience for everyone to enjoy!
