Newcastleton 10km Trail Race
The inaugural Newcastleton 10km Trail Race takes place on 15 August 2026 at Rock UK, Whithough Park, Newcastleton. Organised by Run And Ride with event delivery by Mayer Active, the race uses the local trail network around the Rock UK Adventure Centre.
The course is a fully off-road 10 km loop over trail and rolling terrain. The route includes wide forest tracks, flowing singletrack and a number of technical downhill sections. The course will be fully marked, signed, and marshalled, with distance markers and a water station approximately at the halfway point. Timing is chip based and a bespoke finisher medal is provided for all finishers.
Entry categories include Adult/Jnr (14–39) and Vet (40+). Prizes are awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female finishers and to 1st Vet (40+) male and female. Parking is available at the event car park and a small parking fee applies. Toilets are provided and camping is available onsite with options for vans, campers, tents or lodge bookings through Rock UK.
