About Shale Trail Run
Runners can choose from four distances on the West Lothian Shale Trail during the Shale Trail Run, held on 6 December 2026. The point-to-point races cover 3 km, 9 km, 25 km and 50 km, running between Winchburgh and West Calder via Broxburn and the Almond Valley along the Union Canal. The trail is waymarked throughout and supported by on-course marshals, with checkpoints and water stations positioned at intervals.
The 50 km race operates under an 8 hour cut off and includes drop bag service to the finish. The 25 km offers baggage transport from start to finish. Runners tackling the longer distances should be equipped with a head covering, waterproof jacket, space blanket or similar, mobile phone, and food and drink; trail shoes are recommended. All finishers receive a memento, with trophies awarded to top finishers and age category winners. The event is organised by Lothian Running Club and supports the Smalls for All charity.
