The route is basically out and back.
Runners start opposite the Abbey and run through the square down to the A68 and now along the Bongate (A68) before turning right up past Woodend and the back of Riverside out onto the A698. They then run east passing the Mounthooly buildings towards Shortacres. At this point the 10K runners turn through 180 degrees to head back along the A698 towards Bonjedward (click on the TP above to see pictures).
At Bonjedward the route turns left onto the paved area alongside the A68, down past Riverside and finish on the grass by the river opposite Queen Mary’s house.
There will be two water stations along the 10K Race at suitable intervals.
The route is also part of the Half Marathon circuit and runners will have to be aware that at the 180 degree turning point around Shortacres some of the festival participants will be continuing in an easterly direction towards Crailing and Eckford. There will be marshalls and plenty of indication that 10K runners must take the 180 degree turn at this point.

There are three water stations on the course, they are marked on the map above by WP1-3. The first is at a distance of 4.8 Km, the second at 5.5 Km from the start (approx) and the final point is at the finish line.

Gradient Profile for the route

The above chart is based on the intelligent analysis of data coming from GPS technology and measurement off O/S maps. As such the altitudes are indicative rather than being accurate to a specific plus or minus value. The positioning of all the survey points are very accurate however when transferred to the chart they are positioned to the nearest 100 metres.

The starting altitude above sea level is 250 feet.The highest point is at 306 feet some 56 feet higher than the start point and is at distance of 1.5 kilometres from the start.
The lowest point is at 183 feet and is reached at the turning point which is also the half way point for the 10K race. On the return leg there is a final ascent from point 5 to just south of point 8 on the map above, this equivalent of a rise from 186 to 272 feet (86 ft).
