A 10KM TRAIL RUN AROUND BERTHA LOCH

THE EVENT

ABOUT THE EVENT

10km trail run around Bertha Park Loch and Almondbank.

This is a trail run with technical parts and muddy sections, through the woods with gentle hills and scenic wintery views.

This is ideal for trail runners, cross country runners, joggers, new and experienced alike!

The August 10km trail run takes the reverse route going through Almondbank first then round Bertha Loch.

The August 10km is at the same time as Big Bertha our 12-hour lapped event.

The February 2027 10km trail run goes around Bertha Loch, right up to Almondbank and then back along the river. There are parts of this route that are along tarmac, so we recommend using shoes that can cope with both mud and tarmac!

Start/Finish is on the green next to the visitor car park near Springfield Homes.

WARNING

 

Although this is a trail run (so you won't be running through grass/bushes) we have been advised that even in February there may be some ticks still alive (they are hardy Scottish ticks afterall!). We recommend wearing long running trousers rather than shorts and please do check yourself after the run!
