We're looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday! The forecast seems to be improving, the chance of rain has decreased and I'm sure anyone who tried running in the heat last week will appreciate it being 14 degrees and cloudy.

All participants should have received a final instructions email from EntryCentral last night, let us know if you don't have it.

Here's some information about the route which will hopefully be helpful to those of you who are running or spectating.

You start on Castle Approach and take two turns before you reach the main pedestrian path heading west. There are bollards in the first 200m that we will make as visible as possible, but please take care at the start.

When you reach 1km a marshall will direct you to take a right turn onto the newer, wider path. If you're spectating, this area between 1 and 2km (see the zoomed in map below) is a great place to watch, because runners will be back to do an out-and-back section later, so you can see them 3 times (or 4 counting the return along The Esplanade). Just please stay off the path to give runners as much space as possible.

At 2km you will be directed to continue straight onto the path along the coast towards Monifieth. There is a short strectch alongside the caravan park at 3.5km that is narrow, so make sure you stay left and are considerate of pedestrians and runners coming back the other way.

There is a water station at 3.9km just before you enter the loop at Monifieth (see zoomed in map below). The road at this point will be closed to traffic, but there may be rare cases where we have to let a vehicle through. Marshalls will direct you around the loop and you will once again pass the water station.

You then return along the path you went out on until you reach marshalls with a cone at about 7.5km. At this point you will do a 180 degree turn and enjoy the (forecast) tailwind for a bit. Just beyond 8km a marshall will direct you to turn left onto The Esplanade and you will then return to the start along that path to receive your medal!

There will be plenty of marshalls out on the course to keep you safe, point you the right way and cheer you on, please give thanks to them for volunteering to give up their Sunday morning.

Temporary Traffic Order – Castle Approach

Dundee Roadrunners, who are organising the Dundee 10k race which takes place on Sunday 7th June, starting on Castle Approach, have contacted me :

“Castle Approach will be closed to vehicles from 5pm on Saturday 6th until 2pm on Sunday 7th June.

We’ll be putting up the public notifications in the area on Tuesday evening, but we wondered if you could share it on your social media to let local residents know that the race is on and that this road closure will be in place.

Castle Approach will remain accessible for pedestrians and cyclists, but the Esplanade paths out to Monifieth and back will be busier than usual! Given the route uses the National Cycle Network Route 1, the paths are not closed so will remain accessible for pedestrians and cyclists.

For our part, we have asked runners not to wear headphones other than bone conducting ones so that they can hear marshal instructions and maintain awareness of what’s going on around them, but we wanted to make sure other path users know that there will be up to 400 people running from Broughty Castle and Monifieth and back between 9.30 and 11ish and given the nature of the route there will be sections where there are runners heading in both directions.”

Here’s the full temporary traffic order from the City Council :

THE ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 - SECTION 14(1)

THE DUNDEE CITY COUNCIL AS TRAFFIC AUTHORITY being satisfied that traffic on the road should be prohibited by reason of Dundee 10k event being carried out HEREBY PROHIBIT the driving of any vehicle in Castle Approach (east of St Vincent Street), Broughty Ferry.

This notice comes into effect on Saturday 6 June 2026 at 5pm until Sunday 7 June 2026 at 2pm.

Pedestrian thoroughfare will be maintained.

No alternative routes for vehicles are available.

For further information contact 433082.

Every finisher will receive a medal designed by local illustrator Laura Darling-Brackenridge (https://www.darlingbyname.com or Laura Darling Illustration on Facebook). As well as being a great artist, Laura is also a keen runner with the Dundee Roadrunners AC.

Made of recycled zinc, the medal features Broughty Castle, the race’s start and finish point, with the distinctive outline of Dundee Law in the background. In the foreground, dolphins play in the Firth of Tay.

Thank you very much to Laura for the design and we hope that you're all looking forward to receiving the medal when you cross the line!
