A city pupil’s design has been selected to appear on the water bottles that will be handed out to thousands of runners taking part in a race.
Shannon Mowat, 10, who attends Dyce Primary School, was selected from more than 150 other entries to see her design make it on to the water bottles for this year’s BHGE 10K Running Festival, which takes place on May 20.
The design competition was run by Deeside Mineral Water – one of the official partners of the race event, which is now in its 31st year.
Shannon’s creative design includes Sport Aberdeen’s very own mascot – McMurtle the Turtle – with a message to help inspire her peers to drink more water.
Sport Aberdeen’s director of business development Jill Franks said: “On behalf of Sport Aberdeen, I would like to congratulate Shannon, and say a huge thanks to all of the children who took part in this fun competition.”
