The Mull of Kintyre Half Marathon and 10K Race | Junior Race - 2K

MOK Run was established 2006 in Campbeltown, located close to the beautiful Mull of Kintyre. It has been voted as the UK's top race in Runner's World magazine multiple times and places usually sell out fast. The race has grown in popularity due to its picturesque location,fantastic atmosphere as well as the post-race celebrations of Danish Pastries and Ceilidh dancing. Both races start together at the War Memorial, esplanade, Campbeltown. The 10k race is around 3 sides of scenic Campbeltown Loch,and is mainly flat and attracts runners far and wide to gain a lucrative PB. However we take pride that we encourage people of all fitness levels and ages to try out this achievable goal with many power walking around the course and many doing it for charity. The half marathon route leaves the town and runs through the rural countryside and includes approx 1 km on the hard sandy beach of Machrihanish/ Westport, taking in spectacular views across the water of Islay, Jura and Gigha islands. This part of the race makes for pictureque photographs and is normally the highlight for any visitor. The final mile of both races is on a slight down gradiant into town, through the centre, main street, where runners are greeted by crowds of locals cheering them to the finish line - encouraging the first to the very last. The Junior Mok Run is a hugely successful fun- filled event run open to all children aged 5-14,offering an exciting opportunity for young runners to participate and enjoy a fantastic family weekend. Junior races are held on Kinloch Green, adjacent to the Aqualibrium Leisure Centre, on the Saturday of race weekend.
