Meet at Stewart Brewing’s incredible HQ in Loanhead where you will be whisked by coach to the historic Rosslyn Chapel (heavily featured in the Da Vinci Code book and film) to start your trail run through the beautiful valley of the North Esk River.
You will pass tumbling waterfalls, still river pools, quiet natural forests and atmospheric ruins of the area’s surprising industrial past, before emerging at Stewart Brewing HQ to celebrate your achievement over a beer (the first one’s free!).
Along with your beer you will also receive a medal in the form of a branded bottle opener and a custom event t-shirt.
Stick around and soak up the atmosphere at the finish line whilst enjoying great beers, music, food and good times guaranteed after your run.
This event is part of Hop Run.
Runners will be transported to the start line in waves.
The tap room will be open when you finish, serving delicious pizzas and award-winning beer - two good reasons for a sprint finish!
Trail shoes.

The 10K starts at the world-famous Rosslyn Chapel and take you on a fully marshalled 10km(ish) course through Roslin Glen Country Park, following the North Esk River to Bilston Wood before returning you to Stewart Brewing for a well earned beer.
Feed station cups are the event's biggest source of waste so they're no longer provided. There will be no cups at feed stations. Please bring your own reusable vessel or there are some available in registration for a small fee. You will need to carry this with you and use it on the course if you wish to take water at the feed station.
