The Stoats runnyegg 10k - Saturday 7th September 2024, 10am - 12pm
What is the Stoats runnyegg 10k?
It’s a women-only, empowering 10k run, taking place at the beautiful Archerfield Walled Gardens. You’ll be running through scenic trails and admiring gorgeous views, before reaching YellowCraig Beach and returning to the Walled Gardens to finish. So if you’re feeling ready to test your fitness ability, fancy trying out a new exciting challenge, or just want an excuse to catch up with your friends, get your tickets for the runnyegg 10k now!
Why join the runnyegg 10k?
- We hosted the runnyegg 10k back in 2017, and you all loved it! Here are some photos showing all the smiling faces on the day of the race, despite what turned out to be a pretty rainy day (what’s new in Scotland…)!
- It’s a great chance to be part of something bigger and we always do our best to create a sense of community at our events. You’ll meet other eggs, and can become part of our closed runnyegg Facebook group beforehand to motivate each other and start making those all-important connections.
Sounds like something that might be up your street? Want a discounted ticket?
