Linlithgow 10K and Junior Fun Run
Linlithgow Athletic Club stages an annual community road race and a junior fun run each September. The event was established in 1992 and is organised entirely by club volunteers under licence from Scottish Athletics. It takes place on roads around the town and Linlithgow loch and includes a loop around Bonnytoun Farm.
Distances
- 10 km
- Junior fun run, 1.9 km
The 10k course is undulating and can be challenging. A section behind the loch is narrow and overtaking is difficult. Some roads are closed for the event while others remain open, so runners must follow marshal directions. For safety, participants are asked not to wear headphones on the route.
Advance entries are handled through Entry Central and the fun run also accepts on-the-day entries. The event provides pacers from 40 minutes to 65 minutes. A sweeper cyclist travels at about 1 hour 15 minutes and there is a strict course time limit of 1 hour 40 minutes; after the sweeper passes, roads may reopen and runners should act as careful pedestrians.
Timing and results are provided by Perfect Timing and will be published after the race. Prize money is offered across senior, masters and team categories, with senior prizes including £400, £200 and £150 for the top three. Funds raised support the club; no individuals gain financially from the event. If the organiser cancels, runners will be offered a refund minus an administration fee or the option to roll the entry to the next scheduled race; entrants who withdraw are not entitled to a refund or to defer their place.
