Product Description
The Loch 2 Lawers 10K is based at the spectacular Loch Tay Highland Lodges, Perthshire. Loch Tay is a freshwater loch in the central highlands of Scotland and the sixth largest. On its north shore sits the imposing Ben Lawers, the highest mountain in the southern part of the Scottish Highlands, which reaches almost 4000 feet. The L2L 10K route takes you from the edge of the Loch to approximately 1300 feet on an out and back 10K route.
The route will test you on many levels: the terrain is a mix of trail, track and tarmac and some sections are narrow and grassy. Your effort will be rewarded with spectacular views of Loch Tay, Ben Lawers and the surrounding mountains. Can you conquer the Loch 2 Lawers 10K?

What a run! This is not your basic 10k- it is a breathtaking journey… literally! This scenic route is challenging and technical but the surroundings make the miles pass by in a flash, as you take in the beauty of the hill. Each of the marshals greet you with kindness as you weave your way to the turning point- and there are some amazing views to take in as you gather yourself for the descent. The homeward trails are so welcome and allow you to gather some speed but watch your footing as it requires some concentration to stay balanced through the beautiful but mixed terrain. The finishing stretch is superb with the team ready to cheer you home with some smiling faces and welcome refreshments. Overall this was an amazing experience, which I would highly recommend! Will be back next year- thank you for such an amazing experience! Looking forward to the next two events already!

Brilliant day out and superbly organised event , the 10k route was sustained and varied and downhill the views of Loch Tay clearing in the mist were inspiring. Loved the piper spurring us on near the turnaround definitely put a spring in my slow steps … half next year for sure !

This is by far the best 10k race I have ran. Everyone was so friendly and encouraging. The scenery was second to none. It was a challenging 5k climb to the top but the piper playing gave me the encouragement for the final push to the top. The effort to get to the top was more than worth it for the great fun and views running down. The whole event was very well organised. A bonus having a nice restaurant at the end of the race to sit out and watch other participants finishing. Would love to do the 10k again but thinking of trying the half marathon next. Would definitely recommend.

All Tay Fitness events are set in the most beautiful scenery and this one definitely didn’t disappoint!!! What a privilege to be running through such wild countryside with my friends – was so good!! The uphill was hard but we took our time and put the world to rights on the way! The downhill was so much easier and knowing we were going to have a nice lunch at the boathouse after was a good motivator. Five star event with brilliant organisation x

Well done to all who took part in the 10K as this was a very tough event in my opinion!I love running trails and this was just so much fun and such a physical challenge for me. A very self satisfying experience! Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The piper and people half way up cheering was a bit special…certainly gives you a lift..thanks! Many thanks to the marshalls and all the staff who made it happen and, thanks Pete… great event and will be back next year for sure.

Great event! So well organised, such friendly people from competitors to marshals cheering us on all the way. Big hard climbs but the views were amazing and a fab run. And the piper was a perfect touch for a bit more motivation!

An absolute beast of a 10k race. The downhill section is exhilarating but can you please do something about the uphill at the start 🙂 …boy oh boy, my legs have never felt this tired before.
A fantastic venue with some of the best views over Loch Tay today on a very clear day.
Despite being the hardest 10k I’ve ever run, it was a superb day and I’m keen to come back next year.

A tough but very satisfying 10K. Loved the tradition of touching the Loch at the start and was tempted to dive in at the end! Really well organised with a great warm up and atmosphere amongst the competitors and supporters. Fantastic to hear my name to claps and cheers at the end. Will definetly be back, thanks for a great day.
