Benarty Gala Trail Race

Benarty Gala Trail Race 2026

The Benarty Gala Trail Race takes place on 28 June 2026 at Lochore Meadows Country Park. Race HQ is at the Willie Clarke Visitor Centre where bib number pick-up, toilets, a cafe and car parking are available. The course is approximately 5 miles and starts and finishes near the Lochore Meadows parkrun finish area.

The route follows trails around the southern shores of the loch with views of Benarty Hill, then continues into Harran Hill Woods for a loop on woodland paths before returning alongside the loch to the start area. Sections of the route can become muddy; the organiser recommends trail shoes if ground conditions are wet.

All finishers receive a race medal. Prizes are awarded to the first three overall male and female finishers and to male and female first places in Over 40, Over 50, Over 60 and Over 70 categories; one prize per runner. The organiser does not supply drinks so entrants must provide their own water. The Willie Clarke Visitor Centre cafe will be serving hot and cold drinks, snacks and hot filled rolls.

There are no changing facilities and no official baggage storage; any baggage left at the start or finish is at the owner’s risk. Race results and event updates will be posted online. Events are insured and held under Association of Running Clubs rules. Entry fee is £11.00 and total places are 100. Number transfers are allowed up to seven days before the race; there are no refunds or deferrals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
