ARCHIVED RACE: Mulberry Bush Montessori Balfron 10k @ Stirlingshire, Scotland, 25th April 2010

First run in 2007 (as the Co-operative Balfron 10k), this event has proved extremely popular with runners of all abilities. The officially measured course, chip-timing, winners prizes and professional organisation appeal to the most serious runners, whilst the friendly atmosphere, traffic-free route and excellent goody bags including commemorative medal and T-shirt make it a great race for the more casual runner and even first-time 10k-er. This is a Scottish Athletics permit event run under UK Athletics rules. Funds raised will be donated to Balfron Schools.

We have received excellent reviews from runners and press alike, and have been voted the top 10k in Scotland by readers of Runners World Magazine.- http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/event-editorial/readers-top-50-races-2009-50-plus-votes/4825.html

We are expecting in excess of 500 runners again this year. Entry is now open for both online and postal payment at www.balfron10k.org.uk Subject to availability we will be accepting entries on the day, but would advise early advance entry to ensure a place and a guaranteed medal and T-shirt.

Balfron is an attractive village in West Stirlingshire, with views of the Campsies and Ben Lomond. It can be easily reached from Glasgow (30 mins), Edinburgh (1hr15) and Stirling (25 mins).
