The 10K and the Half Marathon events predominately take place in the scenic Scolty/Blackhall forest area. Both race routes will cater for all running abilities but will definitely be known as a good test.
NEW FOR 2025: When you enter the 10K event you will have the option to participate as a solo runner (select Solo entry) or to be part of a Team. You can choose to join an existing team (select Join team) or you can create your own team (select Create new) so that others can join you. The times of runners in Teams will be combined, and the total time of the fastest four runners in a team will be ranked for a team award.
The 5K event is a generally a flat route that takes runners along Blackhall road before looping down to the riverside taking in beautiful views of the River Dee before returning to the King George V Park.
There will also be a 1K run for school pupils between primary 1 and 7. The 1K run will take place in the grounds of the King George V Park and the surrounding area. There will be medals, refreshments and a great community atmosphere!
