An excellent Breakfast Run was held on Saturday 19 April 2014, with runners of all abilities and ages coming along to enjoy the beautiful sunshine at Benmore Gardens. Everyone made it up the hill for a presentation of the new Dunoon Hill Runners vests. Easter eggs were to be found at the lookout on the way down, followed by breakfast at the cafe.

The event was professionally photographed by Ken Clark, to whom Dunoon Hill Runners offer many thanks. Photos can be found here.
