Arrochar 10k - 19 Sep 2026
The Arrochar 10k is a varied-terrain 10 km race held on a scenic route in Arrochar, Argyll. The event is organised by the Loch Long Jetty Association under UK Athletics rules and holds a Scottish Athletics permit. Chip timing is provided by Perfect Timing. A medal is awarded to all finishers and prizes are given in men, women, local and veteran categories. There is a prize-giving event afterwards in Arrochar Village Hall with homemade cakes.
The course begins on a track, continues onto a forestry road that contains the only significant hill in the race, and then descends via forest paths to Ardgarten. Runners must cross the A83 trunk road at one point and should take all necessary precautions. After more forest paths the second half runs on pavement alongside Loch Long with views of Arrochar and Ben Lomond.
