Race Day News 2009
Now in its fourth year, this event has gone from strength to strength, with 165 entries last year - a record for the event. Last year saw the first Power Push, where local mums pushed their prams around a 7km course. The age range of the whole event now spans seven decades!!!

ON ROUTE TO 10k
The 10K starts at Kilkenneth and passes through Sandaig. Follow the road past Heylipol Church and onwards past Chocolates and Charms (Tiree made chocolate and Jewellery). The route then winds round to Balinoe and across the beach to the finish line. Note: the finish line is on the beach, please make your way back to An Talla after finishing.

THE FAMILY FUN RUN
The Family Fun Run is the length of Crossapol Beach. The finish will be on the beach so please walk back up to An Talla where the chocolate fountain will be waiting!

JUNIOR RUN
The Junior 6km Run starts near the hall and does a loop around Balinoe to finish on the beach.

POWER PUSH
The Power Push is a new event for mums and toddlers. The Push will go from An Talla, past Island House to Chocolates & Charms and back.

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 to let vehicles pass
Big steep hills: No chance, Tiree is flat so you should have no bother
with these!
The sun: There is one water station at Heylipol Church approximately
half way through the 10k course.
Dehydration: 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 4.30pm. There will also be food and drink available at An Talla Cafe.

In the evening I’ve organised a 10k Family Dance with a fully licensed bar. This will raise funds for the local Windsurf Club so please come
along to support this event. All ages are welcome. Come along; dance, relax, meet people. There will be some amazing raffle prizes!!!

Any Questions? Just give me a call or drop me an email.
Happy training!
