Trident Trail Race
The ‘Trident 10K’ is a trail race like no other. It’s a beautiful but very challenging run starting at Helensburgh Rugby Club before passing through Duchess Wood and onto the high forest tracks above the town. Great views on the way down back to the Rugby Club for some well earned refreshments!
The event is 9.7Km with 1250 feet of climb, all on trail and dirt road – for more information on the route, check out the gallus running website https://www.gallusrunning.com/trident10k
Thanks to everyone who completed the 2025 event and made it such a friendly and enjoyable event. Brilliant atmosphere throughout and great encouragement from our brilliant marshals!
