A healthy mind goes hand in hand with a healthy body so what better way to promote positive mental health than to take part in a fun run and walk around Spiggie Loch.
Mind Your Head, in association with Shetland Tranport and Tay-CAD Ltd, is delighted to announce the Round Spiggie Fun Run and Walk will now take place on Sunday 8 August 2010 - please note change of date.
No matter your age, gender, fitness level or capability you are invited to take part in a 5k or 10k raising funds for Mind Your Head.
The 5k and 10k routes can be completed in whatever way each participant wishes. Athletes can run the distance for a time, mum can push her baby round at a leisurely pace or a group of friends can do it fancy dress or three-legged!
The aim of the day is to get as many people together from all communities and walks of life to promote and raise awareness of the issues surrounding mental ill-health.
Entry for the 2010 event is now open.
Normally, you could pre-register online however we are currently unable to accept online registrations due to a problem with our PayPal account. Until this problem is resolved we would appreciate if you could pre-register by post. You can download, print and post the registration form here.
Due to this problem, pre-registration has been extended to Monday 26 July. Participants are encouraged to pre-register to ensure you receive a t-shirt on race day. You can still however register on the day if you miss this deadline and a t-shirt will be posted to you after the event.
Entrants under the age of 12 should complete an entry form even though no fee is payable as a t-shirt will be issued.
Under 12s – free
12+ - £10
The registration fee is unchanged from last year. Please remember to register those under 12 to ensure they get a t-shirt.
Mind Your Head is now registered to recieve Gift Aid on all donations. This means that for every pound you gather, we can claim a further 28p from the Inland Revenue, making donations go further.
Although not compulsory, participants can gather sponsorship for the event. You can download a sponsorship form here or why not create a Fundraising Page with JustGiving (this link takes you to our JustGiving page so just click on the "Make your page" button once you get there).
The 10k will start and finish at the Boddam Sports Field (opposite the Dunrossness Public Hall).
The 5k will start near the Noss junction and finish at the Boddam Sports Field. Transport will be provided to the 5k starting point from the Boddam Sports Field following registration.
On receipt of your registration form we will send you an info pack including your race number and further information about day itself.
Participants will still be able to enter on the day however we cannot guarantee that you will receive a t-shirt in your chosen size.
Registration takes place at the Boddam Sports Field from 12.45pm to 1.45pm (opposite the Dunrossness Hall). Please hand in the tear off slip from your entry number where you will receive your t-shirt. Once registered, please remain on the sports field. The run/walk will start at the entrance to the playing field at 2pm.
We will endeavour to get everyone's finish times however please note we cannot guarantee that all times will be recorded.
After you’ve completed the route recharge your batteries with teas and homebakes at the Dunrossness Public Hall! There will also be activities to amuse the children.
