Nigel Barge 10K

The Nigel Barge Memorial 10k is one of Scotland's oldest road races, first run in 1943. We are delighted to return for 2025 bigger and better than ever! The race commemorates Nigel Barge who was killed in action in Dunkirk during World War II. Nigel was an outstanding officer who trained as a Royal Engineer and came top of his class at Woolwich (“The Shop”). As well as a licensed pilot, he was a keen athlete and outstanding runner. Nigel’s father was Kenneth Barge, late of the Bengal Lancers and member of the committee of Maryhill Harriers. The classic Nigel Barge route is a 2 lap course, starting and finishing within the grounds of the Garscube Kelvin Campus estate. The route is entirely on tarmac path and roads. Roads will not be closed to traffic on the day of the race, so please exercise caution and follow instructions from marshalls. The route has been officially measured.
