The Perth 10k and Kids Fun Run offer a great challenge along scenic routes on the banks of the River Tay. The 10k race is well known for being flat and fast and so a great place to get a PB. 

Both the 10k and Fun Runs support inclusiveness and aim to encourage those new to running to come and give them a go. Our ethos is "first or last, it's the same finish line". While there is a competitive edge to both races, we would like to encourage everyone to come and take part and support all runners from those doing their first event to those who have been running all their lives.

We believe every running journey must start somewhere so why not start it at the Perth 10k or Fun Run
