Hamilten is backed by town centre businesses, South Lanarkshire Council, South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture and Police Scotland — and we want you to grab your trainers and sign up now!
We’re aiming to get more than 1000 pairs of feet pounding our streets, so let’s put Hamilton on the sporting map and show off our town in all of its glory.
Hamilton Advertiser editor Robert Mitchell, who took part in the race last year, said:“we are sure The Hamilten 10k run will be another fantastic event for the town.
“Let’s get more people digging out those trainers and taking part this year, and running through the heart of Hamilton.”
Gareth Walker, manager of Hamilton Business Improvement District, said: “Everyone is welcome at the Hamilten 10k. It’s not just about the runners. We also had dozens of people walking the route, raising funds for some fantastic causes.
“So if you considered signing up last year, why not give it a try? You have plenty of time to prepare over the summer and make the Hamilten a realistic goal for September.”
