The Last Duel Trail Race
The Last Duel Trail Race takes place on 23 Aug 2026 in Cardenden Woods and the surrounding area. The route is approximately 5.7 miles and passes the site where the last pistol duel in Scotland was held on 23 Aug 1826.
The race starts and finishes in the playpark next to the primary school. Race headquarters and registration are at the Corrie Centre. All race numbers are issued in a goodie bag that includes the race medal; numbers will not be posted and must be collected on the morning of the event. Entries close at 11pm on 9 Aug 2026 and there will be no entries on the day. Total places are limited to 200.
The course is mainly off road and can be very off road in places, often muddy, rocky or rooted. Trail shoes are recommended. The route passes under a dual carriageway, crosses a small timber bridge and weaves through woodland terrain. Refreshments and prize giving take place at the Corrie Centre after the race. Every finisher receives a unique medal and cash prizes are awarded to the first three male and female finishers.
Entry is non refundable. If the event cannot take place for reasons outwith organiser control, entries will be carried forward to the rescheduled date. Runners must be 16 years or older and eligible to compete under SAL rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
