Over 100 people have now entered the first 10K event planned for Cove and Kilcreggan.
And a special running plan has been drawn up for the inaugural community event.
Organisers have raised £2,300 from a curry ceilidh night, which was so successful they plan to make it an annual event, as well as receiving £5,000 from the National Lottery and £500 from Argyll Community Housing Association.
The walk and run are scheduled for Sunday June 4, and with a maximum of 200 entrants there is still time to take part.
“Our glass is now half full!” said organiser Roni Ferguson.
“We have reached the 100 entrants mark and the maximum is 200 so we are pleased and now want to make sure the event is full.
“We will keep everything crossed for sunshine and it will be a beautiful afternoon.”
The walk will start at 1pm and the run at 2pm, with all runners being timed by Perfect Timing – to enter go to this website.
The start line will be at the former Craigrownie Church Hall, and the route will go along Shore Road towards Kilcreggan, turning onto first School Road, then Argyll Road, and Barbour Road before joining the forest track.
The route then goes up the track until the 5km mark before turning back again, this time going via Fairfield Gardens and through fields behind the bowling, then down Church Road to the starting point.
Parking will be on Shore Road and at Cove Sailing Club.
This running plan has been drawn up specifically for the event by Caroline Drew of Wild Horizons Running: Kilcreggan 10k Training Programme
