Loved this race, the route was amazing with a little bit of everything thrown in. Mostly road/cycle path with a little bit of trail, a hill that seems to go on forever and a little lung busting kicker near the end. Marshalls, as with all Tay Fitness events, were superb. Shame that I missed next year’s entry but will definitely be back

I ran the first ever Callander 10K today, it was fantastic. Thank you TayFitness, another awesome event, awesome route, stunningly beautiful as always and so much fun. It was my first live event with other runners since lockdown and what a 10k, you never disappoint. You’re events are the best and so are you. Thank you for a great day today. I loved it.

Thanks for a great race. My first “real” race since Dec 2019. The rain thankfully went off, but made great puddles for running through, if only we could walk on water as some folk were trying to do🤿. Missed the view of the Loch (I think, maybe catch it next time). Everyone involved were amazing. Loved the piper. Thank you.

Given the conditions I seriously thought this was going to be a miserable experience today. Instead it was a fantastic experience: great route, marshals and organisation from start to finish. The energy and buzz was almost as good as the sharp pumpkin suit 🎃🎃🎃

Great event! Recent pandemic times have made me very appreciative of both the camaraderie and competition involved in a race. Like Tay Fitness’s other races (I’ve done a few), this was well organised – easy sign-up, good pre-race info, an interesting route, generous water station provision, and above all, clear and encouraging marshaling. Attractive medal as a momento, and a pleasant surprise that I’d ordered a t-shirt when I entered pre-pandemic two years ago 🙂 I’ll certainly be back for more Tay Fitness events – well done!
Rachel Yule (verified owner) –
This was a very well organised race throughout. My pre race questions were asked quickly and event information was sufficiently detailed and sent out in good time.
The race itself was on a superb route with beautiful scenery which made the most of the autumn colours around Callander. I especially enjoyed the short off road section, probably the highlight of the route for me.
Course was well marshalled and the drinks stations operated efficiently, probably better than at some more established events I’ve done

Still buzzing from yesterday’s run.
Absolutely loved it.
The route and scenery all came second to the excellent marshals along the route, they did an excellent job keeping us safe and smiling all the way to the finish line. Thank you XXX
Laura Anderson (verified owner) –
My first proper race since Jan 2020 and it didn’t disappoint! Despite the weather I had an amazing run at Callander 10k. The route was simply stunning, the piper just after 5k added to the atmosphere and the marshals were simply the best. Every single one had encouraging words….. which I needed! Slick organisation and perfect execution of a fab event. I’ll be back.
Miriam Adcock (verified owner) –
Great event. I don’t normally like road runs, but loved this – great route – particularly liked the off road bit with the reward of a piper at the top. And I don’t know how you arranged for the rain to stop just as we started running but it was much appreciated. And really loved the commentator at the finish – great outfit, completely bonkers (in a good way) and so encouraging and entertaining. Thanks to all involved.
Graham Baird (verified owner) –
Loved this event, route was superb. As usual Pete and his team had everything so well organised. Every Marshall had a smile and a well done. Even the weather couldn’t dampen the spirits of everyone.
What can you say about fun at the start and the cheery finish with your name being called out. Makes you feel special. I will be back and will continue to book the Tay Fitness events. That are simply brilliant.
Stuart Macfarlane (verified owner) –
A fabulous race through wonderfully scenic countryside.
The route is along very quiet roads and paths with a few kilometres of trail – there is even a nice wee hill thrown in at no extra cost.
This is a well organised event with plenty of cheery marshalls along the way and more photographers than you’d find at a Photography Club on free beer night.
Before the event the organisers took the trouble to ask if, because of my medical condition, there is anything I might need from them on the day of the race – of the zillions of other races I have done, no one has every asked this. Nice touch!!
Zoe Richardson (verified owner) –
Great wee run, marshals were super, route was good and I loved the piper at the top of the hill. Very well organised and results were in very quickly.
Emma Forbes-Hayes (verified owner) –
Course that has a bit of everything. Road, rural trail and urban. Scenery is stunning. Well organised with great volunteers and enthusiastic commentator! Thanks for a great event
Adeline Armstrong (verified owner) –
Awesome event, route is fantastic with the autumn colour. Well organised. Nice crew of marshals along the route. Piper in the hill makes it even better. I cannot wait to come back.
Ross Nicholl (verified owner) –
Great event, very well organised and everyone super friendly. Great to have the Piper on the course too. Several tricky wee surprise hills that make it extra fun. I will be back here and at other Tay Fitness races.
James Waldie –
Well organised with a friendly atmosphere. Mini event village at the start / finish with Big Bobble Hats, Active Root, coffee and Tay Fitness t-shirts. Very easy registration and plenty of toilets. Route was lovely and scenic and a great finish with energetic announcer. Looking forward to running again in March.

Ran the Callander 10k today. One of the best organised events I have attended. Route was stunning and everyone from the first to last runner was welcomed with enthusiasm (Dougie) and numerous supporters enroute. Marshall’s were really supportive too. Definitely one to be repeated and looking forward to the next one in the series 😀

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.
Graeme Thomson (verified owner) –
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,
