Mod 2011 5k run hailed a success 27/9/11
The 2011 Mòd nan Eilean Siar 5k race has been hailed a tremendous success by organisers. Over 120 people braved a huge downpour to take part.
The first male home, in a speedy time of 16 minutes and 27 seconds, was Iain MacCorquodale, who hails from North Uist and is a member of the North Uist Amateur Athletics Club.
But he missed the prize ceremony as he needed a hospital to put three stitches in his knee due to an injury sustained on the run
The first female to finish line was Rebecca Munro of Stornoway Running and Athletics Club, with a time of 22 minutes and 40 seconds.
The event was attended by young and old and clearly the damp weather conditions had no impact on the fantastic atmosphere.
With less than three weeks until the start of Mòd nan Eilean Siar 2011, which runs
from the 14th to the 22nd of October 2011, this was an excellent way of promoting
the event to a new audience.
