Saturday 28th May 11.00am, Westport Beach, Campbeltown - New FREE EVENT for 2011!!

Please note you do NOT need to be an entrant in Sunday's race to run in the Friendship Run!

Warm up for the Mull of Kintyre Half Marathon and 10k by attending the first Friendship Run.

On Saturday 28 May we are hosting the first “Friendship Run” along the sandy beach from Westport to Machrihanish. The distance is about 3 miles and is intended to be a fun run/ warm up and a chance for runners to stretch their legs, meet others who will be taking part in the MOKRUN races and generally catch the race vibe !

A free bus will take participants to Westport Beach and collect them from Machrihanish after the run.

The bus will leave from the Aqualibrium in Campbeltown at 1030 am and the run will start from Westport Beach car park at around 11 am. The run should take less than an hour in total. Refreshments will be served at Machrihanish after the run. The bus will return to Campbeltown, with an estimated return time of 1pm.

The Friendship Run is open to everyone, young and old, and whether or not entered in the main MOKRUN races.

Spaces are limited on the bus – so to reserve a space email us on events@mokrun.com

Springbank Distillery is unique. It is the oldest independent family owned distillery in Scotland. Founded in 1828 on the site of Archibald Mitchell's illicit still, the Springbank Distillery is now in the hands of his great great great grand son, Hedley G. Wright.

Owned by Mr Wright's J&A Mitchell & Co Ltd, Springbank is the only distillery in Scotland to carry out the full production process on the one site. 100% of the traditional floor malting, maturation and bottling is done at the distillery in Campbeltown.

It produces the most hand made whisky in Scotland, with traditional production methods being used throughout the process, and human involvement at each and every stage.

It is the only distillery in Scotland to have never chill-filtered, nor do we add any artificial colourings to any of our single malts.

It is the only distillery in Scotland to produce three different single malts, Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn, using three different production methods.
