Good evening Sionnachers,

I am very sorry to announce that due to unforeseen circumstances I have had to make the very difficult decision to call off this year's Sionnach Relay event.

You will be receiving a cheque in the post , the cheque will be sent to the address you supplied during your registration. If you have a change of address please contact [email protected]

I would also like to pay tribute to my race team and to the Sionnach Ambassadors who have worked so hard this year. We will be back next year and I would like to once again apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment caused.

Yours in running

New Sponsor Alert!!!

Good evening Sionnachers,

We are delighted to let you know that we have teamed up with Polar Frost this year to help you all recover more quickly from each of your loops and after the event

Unlike any other muscular pain relief product, Polar Frost is the only formula to contain both Menthol and Aloe Vera. Menthol rapidly reduces the skin’s temperature to around 5-6°C reducing blood supply to the painful area; whilst Aloe Vera keeps skin moisturised and hydrated throughout treatment. Dry skin can often be a cause for concern for sports enthusiasts when using pain relieving gels, but not with Polar Frost. The combination of these active ingredients means Polar Frost is the only gel effective in delivering pain relief for soft tissue injuries, muscle tension and inflammation, whilst looking after the skin.

Happy Running!
