\"Cycling
Excellent cycling to enjoy on the island and perhaps take on the challenge of the Sportive!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ready, set, race<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the 4th<\/sup> June, Mull will be abuzz with the whirring of wheels as cyclists take to the roads and take on the challenge of the sportive. Covering 87 miles, this is no mean feat and there\u2019s sure to be a celebration on the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following month, on the 22nd<\/sup> July, there\u2019s another challenge to sink your feet into \u2013 the Mull Half Marathon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Visit
Tobermory Highland Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Game on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the year\u2019s most popular of all Isle of Mull events are undoubtedly the Tobermory Highland Games. Taking place on the 20th<\/sup> July, this is your chance to immerse yourself in Scottish culture, with pipes played, cabers tossed and plenty to whet your tastebuds too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Visit
A bustling Salen show field overlooking the Sound of Mull.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Show time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, no Highland calendar would be complete without the annual summer show, and on the Isle of Mull, we have two of them! Held on consecutive weeks, first comes the Bunessan Show on the Ross of Mull, followed by the Salen Show on the island\u2019s east coast in early August (4th<\/sup> and 10th<\/sup> respectively).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From stock judging to show jumping and fun dog shows to prize winning potatoes, these events have all the hallmarks of a country show. Topped off with local food and drink to delight the taste buds and traditional Highland tunes to set the tone. A great day out for all the family and a tribute to Mull\u2019s crofting ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
