The Cambus Quarter
The Cambus Quarter is a 6.5 miles / 10.5 km quarter marathon run on a flat, mixed-terrain course combining trail, tarmac and road surfaces. The route starts in Cambus village and opens with an anti-clockwise loop along the banks of the River Forth, following trail paths around farmland before returning on a tarmac path through the village.
A water station with cups is provided near the return to the start area. Runners continue on a clockwise loop that passes Cambus Pools Nature Reserve, goes through Blackgrange, passes Diageo and crosses a railway level crossing, before returning via the old A907 and the Cambus Cycle Path.
The course is not closed to traffic and remains open to the public. Marshals are positioned at major road crossings and the railway level crossing and runners must follow marshal instructions. The event is held under UK Athletics Rules and a scottishathletics licence. Strictly no dogs are allowed.
