Another run-away success at Irvine Bay

Following the success of the first ever Irvine Bay fun run last year, Irvine Bay Regeneration Company was delighted to support the event once again in 2010 – with around 120 people turning out on Sunday 15 August.

The family-friendly Irvine Bay Fun Run offered a lively and welcoming atmosphere and attracted walkers and runner of all levels. Supporters turned out to encourage participants along the way, with refreshments, t-shirts and medals for everyone crossing the finishing line.

The run was organised by local running-enthusiast, Jim Montgomerie, also known as The Running Kilt. Jim said: “Another brilliant day. It was really gratifying to see so many runners, and more importantly, local people turning out to cheer everyone on. There was such a happy vibe, and a real community spirit. I am already thinking of ways to improve the event for next year.”

Kirsty Innes, Marketing Manager, Irvine Bay Regeneration Company, who also took part in the run, said: “We were delighted to support Jim in this fantastic event. Events such as this are really great for the local area, encouraging community spirit and highlighting what a great place Irvine Bay is to live, work and visit. It was a very hot day for running, so thanks to all the supporters who turned out to encourage us along the way!”
