2017 Sporting Events in Moray (mainly jogging, , and events)

Over recent years the Walk, Jog, Run Moray voluntary organisation have been concerned about the increase in the number of running type events taking place in the Moray and surrounding area which has resulted in clashes of events within the area which has impacted on participation numbers. The time and effort that goes into organising a sporting event is substantial and many of the organisers are volunteers therefore, in a bid to reduce the number of clashes of events in 2017 and ensure events are well supported which will help their sustainability in the future they have created a calendar for groups and the local community.
