The start and finish lines for the adult race are in the heart of Dunblane High Street and runners will enjoy an undulating and scenic 12km route taking them past some of Dunblane’s most iconic landmarks including the golden post box, stunning backdrop of the DoubleTree Dunblane Hydro, through the beautiful village of Kinbuck and the picturesque countryside views along the Auchenlay Road before coming back into Dunblane again. This friendly and challenging event is a fantastic addition to the sporting calendar that’s suitable for all running abilities.
As with previous years, all proceeds will go to our local charities and good causes including the Dunblane Centre.
All the best from the Dunblane Road Race Team
It’s a short (3k) fun filled race with a bit of everything thrown in: a short but steep climb, walls, burn crossings, bog wading and fields! There will be a kid’s fun run, fancy dress is most welcome and hot soup is provided post race to help you warm up. Entries are now open on SI Entries, please come along and join in the fun!
