Would You Like Some Mhor?
The weekend's Mhor Marathon was a stunning success; if you want to sample the breathtaking setting for yourself then get in quick and sign up for 2023...
After three years of waiting, the Mhor Marathon made its return at the weekend (7 August) and it brought the sunshine with it for good measure!
Over 200 runners took part in what is undoubtedly one of the country's most beautiful races boasting some of the most spectacular scenery Scotland has to offer. Those taking part were rewarded with views of Loch Lubnaig, Loch Voil and Loch Doine as they followed the path of the River Leny and River Balvaig all the time surrounded by the breathtaking mountainous landscape of the Trossachs. Stunning!
And to top it all off they were then rewarded with award-winning Mhor hospitality at the finish line. Speaking after the event, a spokesperson said: "What brilliant weather (maybe a little too hot) but those views, we’ll let the photos do the talking! The Tay Fitness Events team were outstanding again, as were the brilliant staff of Monachyle Mhor Hotel and Mhor Bread. We couldn't ask for mhor, thank you everyone!"
Run Mhor 2023 entries are now open for the Trilogy, which organisers bill as 'the ultimate Run Mhor challenge'. It offers the opportunity to build up to running a marathon over the course of your season. Start with the Hidden Glen 10K in April, followed by the Mhor 84 Half Marathon in June and finally the Mhor Marathon in August. Each of the three events offer beautiful scenery, undulating and challenging routes and, of course, a spectacular finish location.
Trilogy runners who finish each event will receive a bespoke interlinking three-piece Trilogy medal that will only be complete once they cross the Mhor Marathon finish line in August. They will also receive a limited edition Run Mhor Trilogy finisher t-shirt when they complete all three events.
If that all sounds just a little too much for you, then entries to the individual events opens today at 8pm, (10 August) for the 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon. In 2019 the Trilogy and Hidden Glen 10K sold out in just 90 minutes, so get in quick!
