The Forth Road Bridge 10k should be called the The Feast Road Bridge 10k because that’s what you get at the end of the road: a massive feast. Tables and tables laden with sandwiches, fruit, cakes, biscuits and everything you can possibly eat to finish the race with more calories than when you started. No wonder the race sells out within hours of going on sale. Not only do you run over an iconic Scottish bridge, you also get diabetes.

The race starts at the top of a hill and the first few hundred metres are downhill. Then a slight climb before another long downhill. If you like a fast start to a race then this is the race for you. However, do watch out, as the race is hillier than you might think. The Forth Road bridge is not flat and, as it’s exposed to the Firth of Forth, it can be windy too. But, with the thought of all that cake at the finish, it’s a great race to try and run faster to be the first to the buffet.
