This challenging half marathon sees runners, walkers and cyclists circumnavigate the main road around the Orkney island of Rousay.

The Rousay Lap Half Marathon has become one of the most popular fixtures on the Orkney athletic calendar. An event with a real family feel, participants run, cycle or walk 13 miles around the island, taking in some spectacular scenery as they go.

The free event is funded by the Rousay, Egilsay & Wyre Development Trust and is open to all ages, although under 16s must have their entry form signed by a parent or guardian, and under 12s must be accompanied by an adult at all times. All finishers will be issued with a certificate together with a Rousay Lap Half Marathon medal and beanie hat at the finish line. The island's Crafthub will be providing refreshments at the end for a donation to their chosen charity.

This year, the REW Development Trust will be collecting for local island-based groups both at the registration and finish line, with all donations very welcome.

For more details and to pre-enter, please visit the Event Entry link or contact the office on 01856 821 229 by Wednesday 21 August. Alternatively, just come along on the day and register at The Space before the Lap starts. Registration will open from 10.30am with the event starting at midday.
