Mull of
Kintyre Run has just been voted the second best half -marathon
in Scotland in 2006 - with only Glasgow being voted better!!
MOKRUN was overall one of the Top 100 Races of any length in
the UK for 2006, as voted by the Runners World Magazine. This
is based on the views of participants as well as the editorial
team at the magazine. Considering that there were 3,000 events
to choose from, we are delighted that our event has been
recognised in this way in its first ever year. The Mull of
Kintyre Run was also listed as one of the Best Hidden Gems,
scoring a perfect 100% from runners who who would do the race
again. For full details see the February 2007 edition of
Runners World.
Tom Barbour of the MOKRUN committee added "We hope to run an
even better race in 2007 and would encourage runners to enter
feedback on the race to the Runners World Event Ratings - see

"Following a successful
inaugural event last year when close to 300 runners and
walkers took the the roads of the Campbeltown area, the second
Mull of Kintyre Half Marathon and 10k event will take place on
Sunday May 27th 2007 starting from the Aquilibrium,
Campbeltown. The organisers hope to attract a field of 500
competitors and, as last year, a number of other activities
are being planned over the long weekend for competitors, their
families and spectators to enjoy. For further details on the
2007 event and how to enter please visit our new website at

A spokesperson for South Kintyre Sports Council added "We are
absolutely delighted to hear that the Mull of Kintyre Half
Marathon and 10k is going ahead in May 2007. This event was
certainly the highlight of the sporting calendar in 2006 and
the feedback from the whole event was tremendous. The
organising committee and the local community should be very
proud of this event and the Sports Council would like to
confirm their future support for these races in any we can"
