The Highland Fling 53 miles trail race

Katie Smith did it! She ran the amazing 53 miles trail race through some of Scotland’s most beautiful scenery and finished exhausted but surely triumphant. What an achievement!

Starting at Milngavie the route followed the West Highland Way, continued through Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National park to finish at Tyndrum. Katie had to run almost entirely on trails and so the going is hard with hands as well as feet being used in some places, uphill and down. Katy, a principal teacher in Greenock, involved many young people in her fund-raising effort, attracted the attention of the local press and so raised awareness of The Moira Fund at the same time as raising a superb amount of money for us.   We are very grateful for all her efforts, appreciate every step she took.
