Enter here – www.entrycentral.com/heb3
What is the Heb 3?The Heb 3 challenge is to complete at three Hebridean island Half Marathons – Stornoway, Skye, and Harris in one summer. This is the longest running half marathon series in Scotland beginning in 1990. 2023 will be the 31st edition of the event! The series opens with the Stornoway half marathon at the end of May and ends with the Harris half marathon at the beginning of July. Each race is unique but they all share amazing scenery and a warm Hebridean welcome, with post race ceilidh celebrations to beat anywhere else!
All runners who complete the Heb 3 will received a money can’t buy memento. In the past this included pottery and T-shirts, this year we will have something new watch this space!
These Half Marathons are independently organised, sponsored, and support local charities. (There is no separate entry fee for the Heb3 race series over and above individual race entries).

Notes on prizes
Only one prize will be awarded per runner, e.g. if a V40 runner finishes 2nd overall they will be awarded the 2nd place trophy and the first V40 outside the top three will receive the V40 prize.
Veteran runners will receive the awards in their own category only, so even if a V50 finishes ahead of a V40 they will receive the V50 trophy.
The team prize will be awarded to the fastest three runners from any one club, male or female. Each of the three runners must have completed the HEB3, running for the same club. The three runners can run different races as long as they each run the HEB3 (ie at least 3 races).
