The Mill Run Trail
  • This blue graded trail is 800 metres in length. It is built on a natural gentle downhill slope and so benefits from natural flow. It also has four high banked berms, rollers and rock features.It's not too steep so it can be accessible to younger riders or less experienced cyclists. There is a short tarmac push up to the start.
  • It is designed for those with a level of off road basics and looking to step up to the next level.

Other Stuff

  • Mill Run is credited with being Scotland's first urban bike trail and is accessible within 15 minutes of most in East Renfrewshire.

Great example of an urban trail.

Short but very sweet. A good spot to hammer around in short loops or work on some skills.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
