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

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

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
