There is a whole variety of races which start and finish in a beautiful wooded area on Loch Lomond-side.

Full details can be found in the attached document: Ben Lomond Races – Details

The very tough senior race to the top of Ben Lomond and back takes well over an hour. Entry numbers are extremely limited and the number has now been reached.

There are junior races for U15, U17 and U20. These count towards the Scottish Junior Championships and are also used for selection for the World Youth Challenge. These races can be entered on the day.

I also organise a hill fun run on a beautiful woodland circuit of about a mile. This is the first event and starts at 11.20 am and takes between 7 and 20 minutes.  I’d be very grateful for offers of help to marshal this.

I can supply full details and maps of the courses for junior races and fun run.

I strongly recommend this event for a family day out. You can round it off with a lakeside picnic or if you are feeling energetic, hike to the top of Ben Lomond to work up an appetite!
