Those crazy hazy lazy days of summer ...

It's all happening this summer, in February, with the Stirling Half Marathon and 11k RunWalk.

What a fantastic event this is going to be! Sunday the 17th of February is the day. Mark that in your calendar.

The date is perfectly positioned to give you the incentive to get fit and stay fit over summer.

Our chief sponsor is Stirling Sports and the event is organised by the Calliope Athletic and Harrier Club.

We have just got the website up and running and in a few days the online and other entry details will be available

As of today the event is 127 days away.

So time to start training.

Now if you haven't trained for a while, or you are new to this, please start out easy and slow.

We don't want you injured before the big day!

As this is the first of this new event, I will be running on behalf of the organizers to get an insider's point of view.

And of course we will be looking for feedback from you.
