Linlithgow 10k and Junior Fun Run
The Linlithgow 10K is a community road race organised by volunteers from Linlithgow Athletic Club. Established in 1992 and held under licence from Scottish Athletics, the event includes a junior fun run and aims to support local athletics through modest fundraising.
Distances
- 10 km road race through the town and around Linlithgow loch
- Junior Fun Run 1.9 km for ages 8 to 15
The 10k course runs through the town, around the loch and onto the Bonnytoun Farm loop. The course is undulating and includes a narrow section behind the loch where overtaking is difficult. Runners are asked to obey route stewards and not to wear headphones for safety. Some roads are closed for the event while others remain open; marshals may ask runners to stop for traffic priority, for example at the Sainsbury’s entrance.
The event provides pacers from 40 minutes to 65 minutes and operates a sweeper cyclist at about 1 hour 15 minutes. There is a strict 1 hour 40 minute time limit for the 10k and the course and finish area will be dismantled after that time. Timing and results are provided by Perfect Timing and are posted after the race. Cash prizes are offered for senior, masters and team categories. Club training plans for 10k are available at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
