They hold two events per athletic year. They organise a Fun Run in June, which is aimed at Primary 6 and 7 pupils and pupils from 1st and 2nd year at High School. This event is well supported by the local schools and attracts about 200 runners per year.
Our other event is the Hugh Wilson 10K Memorial Road Race, which is run in December. This race is for seniors only and attracts about 250 runners from all over Scotland .
The club is also committed to working in conjunction with Diet Coke for the annual half marathon and 10 km which sees 2000 people take to the streets of East Kilbride. They are always looking for new members.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
