Scottish 10K Champs – time to enter now for September 13

The Scottish 10K Champs will once again be held in Stirling in September and there are still entry places available.

And you can put your name in for the City of Stirling 10K and 2K Fun Run on the same day via the Events section on this website.

The event takes place on Sunday 13 September, with the 2K race starting at 9.30am and the 10K at 10.15am. The course is held on a flat, fast route and personal bests are always likely.

As well as Championship medals, there is a long list of prizes on offer, and the fixture is also part of the scottishathletics Road Race Grand Prix for 2015.

Entry fee for the 10K is £16 for scottishathletics members and £18 for non-members. Entry fee for the 2K race, also held over a fast flat course, is £5.

Entry numbers for both races are capped so early entry is advised.
