Missed the fun run entry deadline? Worry not, you can enter your little athletes on race day between 12-1:30pm at the hub.

Entry is just £7, and we can accept cash or card, but Stuart says that exact change would very much be appreciated.

Come along and be part of the day - it's a blast!

How do you fuel ahead of a 2:30pm race start?

As the Linlithgow 10K falls a little later in the day than many runners are used to, there is always the dilemma around how to correctly fuel for the start time.

One common mistake is having a large lunch too close to the start. This can leave you feeling overly full, uncomfortable, or dealing with stomach issues during the race. On the other hand, if you skip fuelling altogether, you may struggle to maintain energy and perform at your best.

@ghperformancenutrition has some tips for ensuring you have the best race next weekend:

The key is to keep your carbohydrate intake topped up across the day with familiar foods that are easy to digest.

A good approach could be:

A larger carbohydrate-rich breakfast A mid-morning snack A lighter “second breakfast” around midday

Foods such as a bagel, toast or porridge with honey, jam or banana can all work well. The aim is to start the race feeling fuelled, but not too full.

As race time approaches and you’re heading to the start line, an easy-to-digest carbohydrate snack or drink can offer a useful final top-up. @highlandfuelnutrition BareFuel is one option to consider. A pre-race primer to help keep your glycogen stores ready for action.

Liquid carbohydrates can be especially helpful before a race because they’re absorbed quickly, provide readily available energy, and are often easier on the stomach than solid food. They also support your hydration plan, helping you arrive at the start line feeling fuelled, hydrated, and ready to race.

As always: nothing new on race day. Use your training sessions to practise your timing, food choices and fuelling strategy, so you know exactly what works for you before the big day.

If you’d like to try race sponsor Highland Fuel Nutrition before the race, you can order online and pick up a sample pack. Use code HFN-GEMMA-20 for 20% off (affiliate code).

Good luck everyone!

We’re delighted to welcome back @linlithgowdentalclinic as a sponsor of the Linlithgow 10K for another year!

As a local business, Linlithgow Dental Clinic is a fantastic supporter of our community, and we’re so pleased to have them behind the race again this year.

Even better, some of the team will be swapping the surgery for the start line and taking part in the race themselves. Give them a shout if you see any of them out on the course.

A big thank you to the team for supporting the event and helping us bring another great day of running and community spirit to Linlithgow. by @linlithgow10k

We are delighted to reveal the 2026 finishers tshirt! 🤩

Each year, our iconic long-sleeved t-shirt is designed by a student from Linlithgow Academy. The blind selection process involves the 10k organising committee and the @talktothompsons team. This year the winning tshirt was by an @linlithgow_ac junior athlete whose design depicts the 10k start line which begins outside @courtresidence and @elevationcycles - both sponsors of this year’s race.

Everyone who completes this year’s 10k and junior fun run will walk away with one of these mint green beauties. Thank you to everyone involved in this year’s competition.

A little shout out to the student who opted to use Linlithgow landmark Alexanders on their tshirt. It was very amusing, but sadly didn’t top this amazing design 🙌

Two weeks and counting until race day!
