This fantastic 10K warrants a trip to the Western Isles in May...
If you fancy a unique and challenging trail run that will take you through stunning landscapes and beautiful scenery then look no further than the Isle of Canna 10K run which will take place on 25 May this year. Held on the picturesque Isle of Canna off the west coast of Scotland, the 10K offers runners a fantastic opportunity to experience an event in the Small Isles archipelago of the Inner Hebrides.
The run begins at the Shearing Shed, which is a 10 minute walk from the pier. The route then winds its way through the island's rugged terrain, taking runners past pristine beaches, rocky cliffs, and rolling hills. Organisers comment: "As you make your way through the course, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding sea and neighbouring islands.
"The challenging terrain and unpredictable weather conditions add an extra element of excitement to the race, making it a true test of endurance."
The Isle of Canna community is known for their hospitality, and runners can expect a warm welcome with plenty of support along the way. After the race, participants are invited to join in a traditional Scottish ceilidh in the Shearing Shed. There will also be a free BBQ plus teas and coffees after the race.
