Islay Half Marathon Weekend Open for Bookings

Our annual trip to the Islay Half Marathon is now open for bookings. We have secured a block booking of 23 places in the self catering Bowmore Distillery Cottages again this year. Our booking is on the basis of arrival on Friday 31st July and departure on Monday 3rd August (this is a bank holiday weekend for some).

Eddie Reid is taking names and deposits of £35 per person on a first come, first served basis to secure a place on the weekend. The total cost is £110 per person which includes the accommodation and our own BBQ on one of the days. The cost does not include the ferry, other travelling costs, the race entry, the ceilidh, evening meals and the liquid refreshments which often materialise through the weekend.

To maximise the number of runners, the booking is being restricted to one runner plus one partner per booking.

The race is on Saturday 1st August and the ceilidh is on the Saturday night.
Please make your own race entry and remember to purchase ceilidh tickets at the same time as your entry. Download the entry form from http://www.islayhalfmarathon.co.uk/enter.html

We understand that for this year only, the race route has changed, so please ignore the route map on the official web site.
