70 Wild Miles

The 70 Wild Miles Glencoe 2011 presentation took place at Cramond Boat Club on Friday 4th June it was announced that over £25,000 had been raised.

Thanks to everyone who supported the event in 2011 and hope that you can continue this support in any future events.

It is with deep regret that we understand CLIC Sargent have had to cancel this years 70 Wild Miles event in Glencoe for the 9^th June. CLIC Sargent have been the organising charity behind this event since 2005. As the founders of 70 Wild Miles, we are obviously very sad to see the event in Glencoe cancelled at this late stage; however, we do wish CLIC Sergeant every success in continuing with the 70 Wild Miles event they organise in Northern Ireland. For the first time in the events 24 year history, there will be no annual 70 Wild Miles in Glencoe. We are looking to engage with another charity to organise and support an event in Glencoe in 2013 and are ever hopeful that this can be achieved and the tradition of this unique Highland triathlon can continue to support those less fortunate than ourselves.

	70 Wild Miles is a triathlon consisting of a 47 mile cycle, 10 mile canoe and a 13 mile run. It is not a race as such, the real purpose being to assist in the fight against Cancer. So, if you’re the kind of enthusiast to whom the thought of cycling the 47 miles (75km.), canoeing a loch for the next 10 miles (16km.), and finishing with a 13 mile (22km.) run sounds like a fun day out - then this might just be what you are looking for! The added bonus is that it’s all for a good cause and there’s great scenery too - if the weather and your state of fitness let you admire it. You don't have to compete in the event, We're always looking for more VOLUNTEERS to help with the organising and running of the event. Or if you wish to make a donation through sponsorship or direct to the charity we will welcome that as well. The 70 Wild Miles event has supported a number of charities through its history. Including; Cancer Research, Cystic Fibrosis Research, Tenovus and CLIC Sargent.
