Three-
A 5K run to raise funds for next year’s Western Isles National Mod is taking place
on Saturday the 25th September -
People can walk or run round the 3.2 mile course in the Lews Castle Grounds, Stornoway, and there will be live entertainment for folk as they cross the finish line.
An eight week training programme for a 5K event is available at www.jogscotland.org.uk. A fee will be charged for taking part in the event and every penny raised will go towards the fundraising endeavours ahead of the 2011 Mod, which will kick off in just over fourteen months.
Committee Member, Evelyn Coull commented: “Following the success of the Mod 2011 Challenge, we wanted to keep with the theme of fitness and wellbeing and believe a 5k event will entice a whole range of participants. People can walk, jog or run round the course at a level which suits themselves and at the same time support Mod nan Eilean Siar 2011.
“A complete beginner to running could start an eight week programme which would allow them to complete a 5k in a reasonable time. I would encourage those interested in participating to contact An Comunn Gàidhlig to register their name".
