The 10k course has the start and finish line on Hume Square and has been updated for 2026.
The original course was set back in 2018 when Chapelton was much smaller with less traffic and residents. Chapelton is now much larger and has busier roads sofor runner safety we have altered the start to exit Chapelton quicker.
The majority of the route is on tarmac but with sections on farm tracks and one short grass section making a true multi terrain 10k course. The section on public roads will be open to traffic. Please read the race information section.
From the start in Rothesay Street runners will turn left on to Greenlaw Road and then take a right up Liddell Place to head out of Chapelton via Quarryline Street it then takes you along the Cookney Road before turning in to the grounds of Elsick Estate. You will rejoin the Causey Mounth at the end of the hedge lined east drive of Elsick House as you head back to the finish line at Chapelton.
A water station around the 5k mark outside Elsick House.
