Event Details
The Crieff 10k is a trail race run over a scenic route with 220m total ascent. It starts from Morrison’s Academy sports ground (Dallerie). The course goes over Laggan Hill past the Baird Monument and returns along the banks of the River Earn via Lady Mary's Walk. A new course for 2026 follows the new trail from Turret Burn.
The event incorporates the Scottish Athletics National Trail Championships for U20s and Seniors. The National U14, U16 and U18 Trail Championships over a 5K course take place alongside the 10K.
Race Logistics
The event is run under a Scottish Athletics permit. Entry is initially limited to 300 runners, with further places potentially released subject to demand. There is no entry on the race day. A snack, water, and a momento are provided for all finishers. Timing is handled by chip timing from pbTiming.
Facilities at Dallerie, courtesy of Morrison's Academy, are available, and there is a post-race buffet with home baking organized by Strathearn Harriers. The race donates 10% of its proceeds to charity.
