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.

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:
“Genius is present in every age, but the men carrying it within them remain benumbed unless extraordinary events occur to heat up and melt the mass so that it flows forth.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
