Parkruns are growing rapidly in popularity in Scotland
A handful of the best parkrun routes in Scotland.
Scotland's parkrun scene is continuing to grow at a rapid pace with 39 5k routes running across the country on a weekly basis.
Each route possesses its own unique charm, without exception providing a friendly atmosphere for runners of all abilities to work on their personal best.
Here are some of the most exciting routes in the country.
The Fort William parkrun takes place in the shadow of the UK's tallest mountain Ben Nevis. Starting at the Nevis Range car park runners traipse through Leanachan Forest for roughly 1.5 miles before darting back to the finish line.
This parkrun performs two and a half laps of a stunningly situated cricket pitch perched above Loch Leven. Weary runners can visit the superb Loch Leven's larder for a hot drink once they've completed their 5k.
Situated a few miles north of Oban, the Ganavan Sands parkrun is beautifully situated on the country's west coast across from the Isle of Mull. Runners race from Ganvan Sands to Dunbeg Village and back again during the 5k
