Very flat, but be aware it's point to point ( east to west ) so you could be 10 miles into a headwind, or you could get lucky with a tailwind. It was ( not sure if still is ) entry on day, so you could decide whether to run based on weather. They bus you from Carlisle out to Brampton at the start.
Star Nov 2016 8:41pm, 6 Nov 2016 10,069 posts	0 Star I ran it last year Princesszee. Get neon-ed up to the max. Tutus, glow sticks any kind of flashing lighty thing. It is more a fun run so don't go expecting to race it. Huge crowds and photo ops at the kelpies. Lots of families.

Dvorak Nov 2016 1:46pm, 7 Nov 2016 12,432 posts	0 Dvorak Yes, Tay 10 in Perth must be the flattest in Scotland. Start slightly North of town centre but accessible by train/bus (well, if they run early enough). Aside from that and the Tom Scott, all other Scottish 10 milers seem to be of the hilly variety.

Maz.......... Nov 2016 2:49pm, 7 Nov 2016 8,161 posts	0 Maz.......... it's a great 10 miler DQ, a breeze compared to Smokies!
Ulric Nov 2016 2:56pm, 7 Nov 2016 405 posts	0 Ulric Thanks for the comments. I expect I'll end up doing Tom Scott again but although its mostly flat the switchback bit around mile 7 got to me a bit (quads and knees).
