26th February 2010
- Saturday 6pm, Argyll Hotel - Chris Moon
talk
Chris Moon walks the talk. He's survived
kidnap, threatened execution, being blown up,
losing his limbs and most of his blood. He ran a
marathon less than a year after leaving
hospital, tested artificial limbs to new limits,
run most of the world's toughest ultra distance
races, climbed mountains, crossed countries on
foot, written books and most importantly used
his experience to understand and illustrate the
process of achievement. He speaks with humour
and passion and has inspired people around the
world.
And now he's coming to Campbeltown on the eve of
MOKRUN 2010, to gave an inspirational talk to
runners in the Argyll Hotel on Saturday 29 May
at 6pm. One not to be missed and likely to be
packed out, get you name in early for this
free
event to
events@mokrun.com, kindly
sponsored by Robert Wiseman Dairies. |

- The MOKRUN committee are delighted that so
many participants both local and from around the
world have entered this year's race making it
completely full at 650 entrants before the end
of February. No more entrants can now be taken
and we cannot operate a reserve list. We would
appreciate if anyone who has a confirmed place
could contact us on

inform us if they can no longer run. However,
their place cannot be exchanged or swapped to
give to someone else. Good luck and happy
training. |

8th January 2010
- MOKRUN has achieved an incredible 4 years in a
row as the most popular race in Scotland, as
voted on by readers of Runners World -
http://www.runnersworld.co.uk.
While the published categories have changed year
on year, MOKRUN has consistently been at the top
for Scotland in at least one.
And this year in 2009, MOKRUN was just beaten
into second place overall for the whole of the
UK. In terms of Atmosphere, MOKRUN was rated 4th
best in the UK, just behind the London Marathon
and the Great North Run - both of which have
tens of thousands of runners and full time
professional organising teams.
MOKRUN was also voted second top for Beginners
in the whole UK, with only the London Marathon
being voted better!
A huge amount of community support makes the
MOKRUN weekend unique, combined with year-round
hard work from the organising committee.
The MOKRUN committee is very proud of what's
been achieved, and very grateful for all the
ongoing support from sponsors, supporters and
helpers, as well as the dozens of locals who
line the route cheering on the runners.
The 2010 race is planned for 30 May, and if you
