Ormsary 10k
The Ormsary 10k is a multi-terrain running event organized by the Ormsary Social Club on the Ormsary Estate in Argyll. The course covers a variety of surfaces including tarmac, dirt tracks, muddy sections, and rough ground, featuring several uphill and downhill segments. The event is limited to a total of 100 participants.
The race starts and finishes at Ormsary Hall. The route begins with 2 miles on a public single-track tarmac road (B8024), where runners may encounter vehicle traffic. Participants then transition onto a muddy dirt track with a steep incline of approximately 500 yards before the path levels out for a 2.5-mile stretch. At the 4.5-mile mark, the course returns to a tarmac surface for a downhill section, concluding with a final half-mile on the B8024 back to the hall.
