Falkirk Trail Running Festival
The Falkirk Trail Running Festival takes place in Callendar Park, Falkirk FK1 1YR, with Callendar House as a prominent landmark in the park. The event offers three measured, chip timed distances that use the park's trail network and varied terrain.
Routes combine woodland trails, open parkland and rolling terrain with natural surfaces, steady climbs and descents. All courses will be fully marked with directional arrows and staffed by marshals. Race photography is taken during the event and made available free after the race. Finishers receive a bespoke medal and post-race goodies.
Practical details communicated to participants ahead of the event include final course maps, registration arrangements and arrival instructions. Race numbers include the timing chip and must be secured to an outer garment to ensure correct chip function. Race bibs are collected at the registration desk on race day.
Participant considerations from event guidance:
- 5K: entry recommended for runners aged 11 or above.
- 10K: entry recommended for runners older than 15.
- Half Marathon: 21.1 km off-road distance across the park.
Additional information provided for travel and logistics notes free parking within the park across three public car parks (approximately 225 spaces total) and walkable rail connections from Falkirk High and Falkirk Grahamston stations. Typical cut off times noted for similar events include 1.5 hours for 5K/10K and 3 hours for half marathon distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
