10k Run and Walk
The course will start at Sorobaidh Beach and make its way to Hynish. The road is twisty and undulating with spectacular scenery out to sea and over towards Mull. The course goes right up to, and around, the Morton Boyd building at Hynish before returning back along the road past Island House to return along the beach to the finish line. So it's an 'out and back' course and obviously it does involve a beach run again!

THE FAMILY FUN RUN
The Family Fun Run is the length of Sorobaidh Beach.

UNDER 16s RUN
Starts on the beach and does a loop around Balinoe past Island House and Pettersons to finish back on the beach.

POWER PUSH
For mums (and dads) and toddlers. The Power Push will go from An Talla along the road past Island House and around to Balinoe. It returns on the same route back to the finish line at An Talla. Pram Pushers have the option of going further along the road to Hynish if they like.

Watch out for:
Cattle grids, soft sand, uneven ground: Take your time crossing these
to avoid injury
Single track roads: The roads are open so be considerate of other
users, use the verges and pockets to let vehicles pass. As the course follows an 'out-and-back' layout you will be passing people coming
the opposite way. Please ensure you keep to the LEFT-HAND SIDE
of the road
Big steep hills: No chance, Tiree is flat so you should have no bother
with these! The new course is undulating but there are certainly no big climbs
The sun: There are several water stations along the 10k route. If it is a
hot day please be prepared to carry extra water and wear sun cream

Above all, enjoy the event. There will be goodie bags and medals at the finish and the prize giving will be at approx 3.30pm.

In the evening I’ve organised a Fun Run Family Dance at An Talla with
live music and a fully licensed bar. This will raise funds for local groups
such as the Windsurf Club so please come along to support this event.
All ages are welcome. Doors open at 8pm, bar opens at 9pm.
