Course and event details
The race base is at the local high school in West Tarbert, a short walk from the ferry terminal. The half marathon route starts just north of Borve, runs along the west side of the island past sandy beaches, climbs across loch-strewn moorland and then descends into the ferry port of Tarbert, finishing on the A859 onto Old Pier Road behind the school. The course highest point is 140 m. Changing facilities and toilets are located inside the school, with designated areas for personal gear; a bag-and-label system is used to return clothing left at the start. Buses transport runners from the school to the start. Water stops are provided at roughly three-mile intervals. Prize categories include 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall, male and female winners in age groups (+40, +50, +60), 1st local runner and 1st team. Runners who expect to take longer than three hours should make advance arrangements and notify the organisers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
