Portlethen’s first running event is to be held on Sunday 9 September. There will be:

– A women’s 5 mile road race (starting at 10.30am) – raising funds for Sportlethen community sports hub

– A family mile dash (starting at noon) in aid of CLAN cancer support.

Places are now available for sale at https://www.resultsbase.net/event/4521?invitation=tjzYbieX2yGSj8Wg

There is also a website: www.runportlethen.net

Family places will be available on the day.

The organisers need help to make it happen. Sports clubs in the Portlethen area are being asked to support the event, providing marshals and helpers, for example.

Sportlethen chair Lynne Erskine says that they have been lucky enough to have two groups offer to help with marshaling, but we need more people. “We need gazebos built, and we need people for registration desks, bag drop, etc – lots to do. I am in the process of completing the event safety plan and detailed plans will be available soon.”
