Run Banchory – 10k Multi-Terrain Race
Come and join us at our Run Banchory event at King George V Park on Sunday 29th August (NEW DATE) in association with SB Fitness. The main event is a 10k multi-terrain race that predominately takes in the scenic Scolty/Blackhall forest area. The race route will cater for all running abilities but will definitely be known as a good test.
There will also be a 1k run for school pupils between primary 1 and 7 and a 2.5k run for secondary pupils between S1-S4. Both runs will take place in the grounds of the King George V Park and the surrounding area. There will be medals, refreshments and a great community atmosphere!
The Course
The start is on the B974, opposite the first lamp post after the King George V playing field. Head South over the River Dee bridge, round the sharp right hand bend and turn right towards Scotly Hill. Take the first right to the Scolty Hill Car Park. At the first fork in the road bear right and follow the road which becomes a 'forestry track'. Follow the forestry track around the forest. The forestry track eventually becomes a tarmac surface again, and at the fork bear right onto the same road as the outward run. Turn left down the steep steps onto the B974. Turn right through the playing field gates to the finish in the King George V playing field at the football pitch line.
