THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RUN IN SCOTLAND
The beautiful landscape of the Cairngorms National Park has to be experienced, and there are few events that take you on such a breath-taking journey as the Glenlivet 10K!
This April, put on your trainers and stride out for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland at this iconic road race.
You will be joining like-minded people and making friends along the way, at the same time as making sure people with chest, heart and stroke conditions get the support they need to live life to the full.
Set in the stunning landscape of the Glenlivet Crown Estate, the Glenlivet 10K has been nominated as the ‘most beautiful run in Scotland’ in the UK Running Awards.
The spectacular route follows quiet country roads that meander around the River Livet, passing ancient castles and offering amazing views of this secret glen.
The event’s start and finish and all facilities are based at the wonderful Glenlivet Distillery, and the course is suitable for runners and joggers of all abilities.
Run Balmoral has races for children, a range of distances, a duathlon and even a corporate team option – as iconic as its location, this event has something everyone can get stuck into.

Where: The walk will take roughly 3 hours and will remain within the Gardens & Grounds of Blair Castle, so an ability to manage this distance is required.
Details:
Join foraging expert Tamara Colchester on a three-hour Spring walk that will introduce participants to around 15 wild, edible and medicinal trees, flowers and plants, along with their etymology, folklore and how best to prepare them.
Learn as you go about poisonous plants, and how to safely identify and avoid them. This meditative, sensory walk will take you into the riotous abundance of spring, ending in a foraged herbal tea with delicious cakes and biscuits prepared with wild ingredients.
Over the past seven years, Tamara has been studying wild plants and her journey began when she was carrying out research for a film about hunter-gatherers. Inspired by her initial findings, she embraced the idea of discovering how people can live off the land in the Northern Hemisphere and in particular the UK. She has built up an incredible knowledge of plants, their food and medicinal benefits, as well as becoming attuned to the seasons and understanding how our eating requirements change and adapt with the weather. In addition to learning about the plants, herbs, trees and flowers in the UK, she has also taken time to understand animal tracking, as to survive in the Northern Hemisphere an omnivore diet is essential.
The walk will take roughly 3 hours and will remain within the Gardens & Grounds of Blair Castle, so an ability to manage this distance is required.
Ticket price: £45 per person, children (under 16 years old) £20.
There are limited places available, subject to availability.
Seasonal Foraging Dates:
Summer Foraging: Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th August
