Linlithgow 10k and Junior Fun Run
The Linlithgow 10k and Junior Fun Run is the flagship road race organised by Linlithgow Athletic Club and held annually in September. Established in 1992 and run entirely by volunteers, the event is held under licence from Scottish Athletics and raises modest funds to support the club's community activities. No individuals benefit financially from the event.
