About this race
The Aberfoyle 10k Trail Run starts from the car park in the village of Aberfoyle, on the edge of the Trossachs and Queen Elizabeth National Park in Stirlingshire. From there the route heads out onto a mixture of trails, single track and unmade ground, looping round Lochan Spling and passing the well-known Faerie Tree Hill before continuing over to Lemahamish and back towards the village. The terrain is undulating throughout, climbing and descending gently rather than featuring one sustained ascent, and runners should expect a genuine off-road trail experience rather than a fast, flat course. The whole route is fully marked and marshalled, though participants are reminded they remain responsible for their safety on the unmade sections underfoot. Set within the forests and lochside scenery of the Trossachs, the race combines a scenic, wild backdrop with a community feel, and all profits from entries go to support Aberfoyle Primary School.
Course profile & record eligibility
World Athletics record-eligibility rules cap net elevation loss at 1m per km of race distance, and require the start and finish to be no more than 50% of the race distance apart — both meant to stop a course gaining an unfair edge from downhill grade or a point-to-point tailwind. This is based on this course's recorded elevation and GPS data, not an official measurement or certification.
