The Milngavie Trail Race

02 Jun 2024

Organiser's Description

The Milngavie Trail Race is back again in 2024! This a challenging race based around the wild and beautiful trails of the West Highland Way and Mugdock Country Park. The race starts and finishes at the Headquarters of the 20th Glasgow (1st Milngavie) Scout Group and takes runners out through some scenic and challenging terrain. 

When - Sunday 2nd June 2024

The race is being organised by 20th Glasgow (1st Milngavie) Scout Group and any funds raised from the event will go towards much needed improvements and repairs to the Scout Hall and its grounds and to purchase new equipment to provide activities and fun for our 190 young members. 

 

The route will be fully marked and marshalled and finishers will be rewarded with a medal and as much cake as you can eat at race HQ! The race is a Scottish Athletics Permit event and is being held under UK Athletics Rules 

 

The race is held on a mixture of hard trails, single track and unmade ground. The route will be signposted and marshalled but runners remain responsible for their own safety at all times and must ensure that they are appropriately dressed and trained for the event and weather conditions on the day.

Race Distance: Approx 8.4 miles

Course Records:

Male: Del Young - 52:10 (2016)

Female: Katie White - 57:42 (2019)

The race will be timed using electronic chip timing and results will be available as soon as you cross the finish line.

There will be no water or feed stations on the course and so it is runners own responsibility to carry any water or food that they will require for the duration of the event.
