Brodick Glencloy Trail - Isle of Arran

Brodick Glencloy Trail - Isle of Arran

A trail race of about 10K starting and finishing in Brodick on the Isle of Arran. The route runs mainly on rough footpaths and forestry roads and gains about 600 feet in elevation from and back to sea level. The event is held under Scottish Athletics rules.

The course begins at the Ormidale Sports Field and proceeds through the West Mayish estate with approximately 200 yards on tarmac before joining the Old Lamlash Road footpath. It climbs to the top of the hill between Brodick and Lamlash, follows a broad forestry road for about half a mile, then descends into Glen Cloy. Runners cross the Cloy Burn on a forestry bridge, continue down a footpath, cross two rough fields, and follow a track beside the burn past Auchrannie Resort to finish at the old garage forecourt at the bottom of Auchrannie Road.

Only about 250 yards of the route are on tarmac pavement or road, so trail shoes with grip are recommended. Toilets and changing facilities are available at the Sports Pavilion. There are a range of eating facilities in Brodick. Cars should be parked in the Ormidale Sports Ground car park. Registration takes place at Ormidale Sports Pavilion, about 15 minutes walk from the ferry terminal.

Minimum age is 16. Entry limit is 100 runners. Entry fees are £8.00 for Scottish Athletics members and £10.00 for non members. Entries open 17 February 2026 and close 21 August 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
