Run to Loch Venachar, in the heart of the Trossachs, and return alongside the River Teith.
Sun 12th Mar 2023
Run towards Loch Venachar, enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding mountains, a flat return to Callander via the old railway line, before a final push along the riverside to the finish.
What a fantastic day! Such a well-organized event. This was my second time doing this 10k.
The support from locals & marshals was even better the second time around. Loved the piper just after the halfway point. The route is varied & very scenic.
Will definitely do this again. Thank you, Tay Fitness!!
Fantastic event, well organised and well supported. Can’t wait to run it again next year!!!
Great race! Well organised, very friendly, and a fast scenic course. Would definitely sign up again. My kids loved doing the 1km fun run too.
This was my first ever running event and have got to say it was amazing!! Very good set up, route was stunning, Marshall’s were very helpful, encouraging and friendly. Whole day was just an amazing experience and this certainly will not be my last time at this event! Would highly recommend anyone to give this a try!
First 10k yesterday in Callander. Absolutely loved it. Very well organised event and everyone was very friendly. Great route and amazing volunteers. Bring on the next one. Thanks all.
Brilliant event, best I’ve done so far. Well organised, great fun and huge encouragement from the marshalls, locals and fellow runner. Hills at 5k and 9.5k nearly ended me, but least I’d have gone with a smile,
Brilliant event, the marshals and volunteers really keep you going. I did the last one in October and signed up for this one as I loved it. The piper is well timed and gives a boost just when it’s needed. Well done to everyone involved in putting the event on 😊 Now to look forward to all the other Tay Fitness Events I have signed up to.
A really fantastic day out! It was the most organised and friendliest sporting event I’ve ever been to. A special thank you to all of the volunteers for their continued support throughout! And the piper at the top of the hill was just perfect touch…
This is the second event of completed with Tay Fitness and have to say they are fantastic, the organisers, Marshall’s and compere are just fantastic. It’s always such a great atmosphere and such fund events to take part in would highly recommend.
Ps and the routes are stunning complete with piper!
