Jim Young’s Big Breakfast Run – Sunday 28th May

Hi Folks,

Jim Young our amazing coach / leader / volunteer / athlete and inspiration is 90 on 18^th May. And as if this wasn’t reason enough to celebrate, June marks his 75^th anniversary as a member of Kilmarnock Harriers!

To mark these twin events, we are planning a day of celebration on Sunday 28th May. The day will start off with “Jim Young’s Big Breakfast Run” at 9.30 am for club members and friends (declarations from 8.45 till 9.15)

The run takes place in Craufurdland Estate, starting at The Lairds Table Restaurant, and is a 5K road race open to club members 15 and above. The event will incorporate the annual Rowallan Rosebowl race and as such features a team handicap. There is no fee to enter.

On completion of the run the club will be providing a complementary breakfast to all runners and helpers. Jim Young will of course be presenting the prizes.

Do come along and help make it a special day, for a special man and a milestone in the history of the club.

Please let us know if you intend to run via the Facebook post, through Team App or by email here – Jennifer Beattie

It would be really helpful if you could provide a guesstimate of your 5k time plus your preference for a breakfast roll of either sausage, bacon or egg. If you are unable to run but can help let us know via the same methods.

As the Laird’s table will be closed during the run there should be ample parking in the estate but please think about car sharing or parking in Fenwick and jogging up for your warm up.
