Tiree 10k and half marathon – 4th May 2013

I had intending putting this in next month’s ‘Up and Running’ but another group has enquired about the booking I have for accommodation on Tiree for the Tiree 10k/half marathon weekend. The event is on Saturday May 4th. You can find out more info about it here:

There’s already a group of us – a mix of Lothian runners and spouses/friends – heading up there and we’ll stay at the Hebridean Trust centre at Hynish. We’ll use Alan Stevenson House. Accommodation is on a bed & breakfast + evening meal basis.

So far I have 10 names as ‘definites’ with a few ‘maybes.’ There are up to 20 places at Hynish, though it might be less than that depending on the ‘mix’ of bodies. Some of us are planning to travel up on the Friday and return on the Monday. It is possible to travel up on the Saturday and back on the Sunday.

Note that it’s all much more expensive this year:

Hynish – £35 per night
Ferry – £19.90 return. Cars are £104
Entry fee – £12 for 10k and £15 for half marathon (first running of the Half Marathon)

Normally I have until late February to confirm the booking but as there is another group who have enquired, Hynish are asking for us to commit sooner or they’ll give the booking to the other group.

Can you let me know if you are interested by Wednesday 30th January? I’d need a deposit in early February. Feel free to give me a call if you want to discuss.
