The race will kick off at 10am at Croy sports hub taking in Kilsyth, Twechar, Barrhill, Croy Hill before returning back.

Competitors will receive a Buff scarf - which is similar to a snood - and a medal, with prizes available for first, second and third place male and female.

The 13.5 mile trail will provide an interesting course for runners, and Robert hopes to make the event an annual one.

He said: “We hope to have this event on every year. Most people do road running but paths and trails are different.

“The surface can be more muddy and sliddy.”
