The club received an email from Islay Running club regarding a marathon that they are holding, Content of email is below –

I’m the treasurer of the Islay Running Club & we help a local family organise the Islay Marathon, which is run in memory of their late son.

This year’s marathon is on Saturday 12th September at 10.30 am. The entry fee is reduced to £30 if you sign up before the 1st of July, it then increases to £40 – closing date is the 28th of August.

We would love to welcome more runners from across Scotland this year & wondered if you could spread the word with your members?

I’ve attached a copy of our brochure for info & the link to Entry Central to register is below.

We’re a fairly new running club, recently affiliated with Scottish Athletics and are keen to participate in events from races to training courses, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with myself or our secretary, Lorna, at islayrunninggroup@gmail.com, if you organise anything that might be of interest.

Many thanks,

Deedee Magowan.
