The Taynish Run saw around £2,800 raised for charity as competitors tackled three races at Tayvallich in beautiful conditions last weekend.
In the first event since 2018, 86 runners took to 5K, 10K and a 6.8-mile cross country (XC) route, which took runners through the Taynish National Nature Reserve on Saturday November 11.
A full field of 100 runners signed up for the races, which were organised in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, with 86 runners turning up on the day due to some injury-related pullouts.
Campbeltown Running Club were represented by a large contingent at the race, while other athletes descended on Tayvallich from Glasgow, Dunoon, Oban and Stirling.
Taynish Race organiser, Colin MacFarlane said: “It only took a week for the run to sell-out and lots of folk are asking about next year’s event already.
“The money that was raised through the races and the whole event as well makes all the hard work well worth it. I’m delighted that we were able to raise so much to support the local Macmillan cancer support group.”
The local Macmillan group provided runners with refreshments and registration fees provide a donation to Macmillan, food afterwards and a bespoke medal for entrants.
