Balfron 10k

training course

There are training sessions based at Balfron High School every Wednesday at 7.45pm meeting at the school reception desk.

The Wednesday night training sessions are run by Jarvis Leisure Services at the High School's floodlit astroturf pitch and follow a varied programme of circuit, speed and hill training led by David Eckersley. The sessions are friendly and informal, and while there is a healthy spirit of competition, there is a wide range of abilities and beginners are most welcome.

Prices: Pay-as-you-go £2 pp per night.

"I enjoyed the run immensely and had a great day in all. The whole thing was a complete success from the numbers that attended, to the sunshine and the community spirit. I will be joining in the Balfron 10k next year and i advise you no matter what kind of a runner you are to have a shot. If you really dont fancy the run itself, come cheer us on...!"

"Really enjoyed last year as my first ever 10k and cannot wait to run it again...and hopefully improve my time!"

"A fantastic race and well organised. The Wed evening training sessions at the school helped get me in shape. Looking forward to next year already."

"Wow, what can I say? The organisation was brilliant, the atmosphere electric and the course demanding! Ran the course with my "running husband" who joked and chatted the whole 10k whilst I and others around him wished he'd be quiet! No really, thanks to his eternal optimism we had a great race and finished on a high sprinting the last few hundred yards up the hill to the finishing line, hand in hand as has become our custom! The sunshine and the joie de vie of our fellow runners made this a very enjoyable Sunday morning run and we look forward to competing again next year. Thanks again, Balfron."
