Brodick Glencloy Trail - Isle of Arran
The Brodick Glencloy Trail is a trail race of about 10K that starts and finishes in Brodick on the Isle of Arran and is held under Scottish Athletics rules. The route climbs roughly 600 feet above sea level and is mostly on rough footpaths and broad Forestry roads, with only about 250 yards on tarmac pavement or road.
The course begins at Ormidale Sports Field and moves through the South East corner of the field into West Mayish estate, including approximately 200 yards on tarmac, then onto the Old Lamlash Road footpath. Runners follow the path to the top of the hill between Brodick and Lamlash, join a Forestry road for about half a mile, descend into Glen Cloy, cross the Cloy Burn on a Forestry bridge, then return along footpaths, cross two rough fields, and follow the track beside the burn past Auchrannie Resort to finish at the old garage forecourt at the bottom of Auchrannie Road.
Registration and the race base are at Ormidale Sports Pavilion, about a 15 minute walk from the ferry terminal. There are toilet and changing facilities in the pavilion and a range of eating options in Brodick. Minimum age 16, entry limit 100. Entry fees are £8 for Scottish Athletics members and £10 for non members. Entries open 17 February 2026 and close 18 August 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
