The 2024 edition of the Run With The Wind Half Marathon will return to the popular pre-2019 circular route over Ardochrig close to the eastern end of Whitelee Wind Farm.  It will follow an anti-clockwise route over quiet and undulating roads to the west of Strathaven climbing to its highest point at the halfway mark (the eastern wind farm entrance at Ardochrig). Details of the 2024 route may be found here: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/5882546542.   The route has been officially measured and the half marathon distance verified.  

The race HQ and registration will be in the Barrie Shelter in Strathaven Park (ML10 6NB).   We will utilise the Barrie Shelter for registration, changing, toilets, post event refreshments and prizegiving.  There is  ample car parking in the public car parks throughout Strathaven. 

Registration will take place from 08.30 at the Barrie Shelter and the race will start at 10.00 in Kirkland Park.  Registration will close at 09.50 prompt to allow transition to the start line which will be near to Kirkland Park School.   Marshalls will be in place to guide runners to the start line.

The race will be chip timed and race results posted on the chip timers' web site within 24 hours of the race completion.
