The Bluebell Trail Run is managed and organised by a group of volunteers in aid of Midlothian Young People's Advice Service (MYPAS). MYPAS is a charity promoting the positive mental health and wellbeing of young people in East Lothian and Midlothian.
This event is organised and run by volunteers, led by a dedicated planning team. After covering the cost of running the event, every penny of your entry fee goes to MYPAS to supoprt the work it does in East Lothian and Midlothian.
We are supported every year by key partners, who offer us help and support. Volunteers are integral to offer you one of the best trail run experiences in the Lothians.

Behind the scenes
What does it take to put on an event like the Bluebell Trail Run?
About 80 volunteers equating to over a 1000 hours of volunteer time, endless cups of tea, loads of fun, loads of planning, finding wood, cutting wood, making homemade medals and trophies, and most importantly, getting the support of hundreds of runners who come along every year to take part. Then planning begins for the following year!
