The Heartbreak Run returns for its 10th anniversary this year!

Since 2016, the Heartbreak Run has become one of Glenalmond’s much-loved traditions and one of the “must do” challenges for pupils before they leave the College. At around 8.3 miles with more than 1,100ft of elevation gain, it certainly lives up to its name!

The route takes runners from Amulree, through the Logiealmond Estate, over the notorious Quarry and back to Glenalmond, with supporters waiting to cheer everyone over the finish line at Front Arch.

This year, we’d love to see some of our OGs take on the challenge and help us celebrate 10 years of the Heartbreak Run. If you’ve run it before, come back and have another go - and if you’ve never tackled it, this could be your year!
