Bertha Park Trail Run
The Bertha Park Trail Run is a 10 km event held in Perthshire. The course takes participants around Bertha Loch and through the Almondbank area. The route consists of a marked trail that includes technical sections, muddy paths, and gentle hills through wooded terrain. In February, the course follows a path around the loch, continues up to Almondbank, and returns along the river. This specific route includes some sections on tarmac surfaces, making footwear that can handle both mud and road suitable for the conditions.
The event starts and finishes on the green located next to the visitor car park near the Springfield Showhomes. Participants register at The Hub on Adamson Avenue, situated opposite Bertha Park High School. The course is fully marshalled and features a water station for runners. A professional medic team is present on-site, and insurance is included for all participants.
Every finisher receives a handcrafted medal produced by a social enterprise in Aberfeldy. At the finish line, runners are provided with water and a voucher for a brownie, which can be redeemed at a local bakery and cafe. Facilities at the finish include toilets and a refreshment area. Results are tracked via chip timing and are available to view online in real time.
Organizers offer gender-neutral registration options, allowing participants to sign up as male, female, or non-binary. As the run takes place in winter conditions, participants are advised to be aware of the potential for ticks and to consider wearing long trousers.
