One of the biggest events in Inverclyde's sporting calendar will make its return this autumn as the Kilmacolm Running Festival gets ready to party on 10 September.

With three distances on offer, (half marathon, 10K and 3K for adults and juniors) organisers Inverclyde Leisure, have done everything to make this an enjoyable day out for runners and the people of Inverclyde alike. Every year it is a real fun-filled day for all the family!

Runners start from Birkmyre Fitness Gym and make their way through the streets of the village, surrounding countryside and along the cycle path for the 10K and half marathon event before returning to the finish line at the gym.

As ever, marshals will be lining the routes to assist and encourage participants to make their way around and you can always rely on great crowd support as well. Post race, food and drinks will be available to purchase from Birkmyre Cafe by Nardini.

Organisers say: "The running of the Kilmacolm Half Marathon, 10K and 3K is one of the biggest participation events in Inverclyde's sporting calendar. We do everything we can to make this an enjoyable event for runners and the people of Inverclyde and encourage families to get involved!"
