Organiser's Description

ARF 10K - HYBRID EDITION 2021

* 10K *

Welcome to the Auchterarder Running Festival 2021 organised by Five Star Active (www.facebook.com/fivestaractive).  

It’s the best news you’ll read today, yes we’re bringing the ARF party back and this year you can even come and join us if COVID behaves!

We’re calling 2021 our 'bridge year' (before welcoming everyone back to race in 2022) This year we’re staging a hybrid event offering flexibility and safety for our all runners BUT with the feel and buzz of a real event.  Let us explain how it will work.

First of all, we absolutely promise to make this event a cracker – we cannot wait to welcome you back to Auchterarder.  The town promises to be buzzing for the duration of ARF, we’re even involving our High Street shops to help us ensure you have the best time ever here in the Lang Toon!

So, time to buckle up for the best 10k and Half Marathon in town!! We double dare you! ( Yup we also have a half marathon and a double dare challenge - thats doing the 10K and the Half Marathon over the race date period - all on entry central and live now).

Taking place between Friday 10th September and Sunday 26th September 2021, ARF 10K will see you walk, jog or run this 10K (6.2miles) distance at a time that suits you within the race window (10th - 26th Sept).  You’ll have two options for completing this race - 

1.  Visit Auchterarder, follow our well mapped routes and run your races

2.   Stay local and run your races in your local area

Do not worry - you don’t need to choose which option you elect until the actual race window starts.  Separate leader boards will be created for each option so those who want to "race" can!

As part of the entry fee all participants will be able to choose to either - 

*  Receive a bespoke 10K specific medal as well as ARF 2021 branded race merchandise

OR (and new for 2021!!)

* elect to not receive a medal and race merch and instead make a donation to an ARF Dedicated Woodland Project.  We’re working with the Woodland Trust to create dedicated ARF sponsored woodland.  Donations for this will help us plant tree’s in Perthshire.  This new option has been created after receiving feedback from our runners, plus we think it’s a great new alternative.

Entrants can upload their time once they’ve ran their distance and a leaderboard will be kept refreshed in real time for the full race window! Something for the more competitive amongst us!! We’ll have overall prizes as well as age category prizes.

As you’d expect we want to make this the BEST experience possible for everyone taking part. It’s our goal to make it as memorable and interactive experience as we can. We’ve many surprises planned to ensure Auchterarder Running Festival 2021 is one to remember.  Follow our social media channels to keep fully up to date on all this exciting news.

Once completed input your time along with your evidence (a link to Strava or Garmin is a popular way of doing this) to our timing website and you’ll be added to our live race leader board! (We’ll send you instructions on how to do this after you sign up)
