RoadBlock Run

While we are still extremely sad that the RoadBlock run has had to be cancelled we are delighted to say that there is still time to sign up for Scotland's Beastliest 10k, The Beast Race! Climb, crawl, jump and drag yourself through 30 mega obstacles!

Think you can take on the Beast? 💪 Why not sign up to take part in Banchory on Saturday 22nd September and help raise funds for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland and help to ensure that there is in Scotland for those who suffer from chest, heart or stroke conditions.

*IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT*

We are really sorry to announce that, due to increased competition from other obstacle runs in Edinburgh we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the RoadBlock Run. Please accept our apologies for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause you.

We would like to send out a huge thank you to all of our incredible supporters who have taken part in this event over the last 9 years and have helped raise over £387,000 for CHSS in total. Your support and your efforts have helped us to continue supporting people and their families affected by chest, heart and stroke conditions ensuring that there is in Scotland.

Your interest in this event and your fundraising efforts are greatly appreciated by all of us and so we would love to invite any to take part in one of our other events such as our Ultimate Abseil in October or , or Half or 10K.

For those of you that have already signed up please check the email that you registered with for more info about what to do next (please check your spam folder too just in case!)

Thank you again for choosing to support CHSS and the RoadBlock Run.
