Many, many thanks to all the supporters and contributors who made the event such a success
Some emails of thanks from competitors
“I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU, to all the community on Coll who organised a great event over the weekend. Of all the races myself & my partner do, Coll is the highlight for us. It’s great because it’s not just about going to run a race, you get to go away for the weekend to a wonderful island, run a very scenic route with fantastic support along the way, try some local food, do another half marathon at the ceilidh and finish it off with bacon butties the next morning - what more could a runner want! It’s a fantastic weekend all round.” Best regards Niamh & Mark
“To all the organisers of last weekend races on Coll. Thank you very much indeed for the races on Saturday. They were a truly community event, inclusive for all competitors of 2 or 4 legs, and must have involved virtually all Coll inhabitants. I saw that even the sailing club cancelled its usual Saturday activities because of the running races. The ceilidh was awesome, and a great place to bump (literally) into others, to the music of a fantastic band. If numbers grow again in 2012, the new community hall will let more people dance. We plan next year to come for at least 2 nights so that we can explore more of your island.”
“Just a note to say how much we enjoyed ourselves at your fantastic event. A tough and challenging half marathon course topped of with great bbq and an amazing ceilidh. We were facebooking members of our club while on the island and got very jealous replies from most of them. A team from our club is now being organized for next years event. We will most certainly be back. And next year how about even more hills on the course please. Thanks again Tom Doctor & Tony McGale (Springburn Harriers)"
Just over £6000 was raised for various community groups
