Skedaddle Speyside 10k

Skedaddle Speyside 10k

The event on 11 October 2026 is a point to point trail run of approximately 10 km between Archiestown Village Square and Cardhu Distillery. The route moves from Elchies woods onto wide land management firetracks for the first mile, then becomes more undulating with views toward the Little and Meikle Conval hills and Ben Rinnes. Around four miles the route narrows and becomes muddy, passes through a gate, descends the Mannoch Road and includes a road crossing of the B9102 with marshals in place. The final section runs beside Cardhu reservoir before the finish at Cardhu Distillery.

The event is part of the Speyside Series 2026, comprising:
