Overview

We are excited to announce the return of the Hillsborough Castle & Gardens Running Festival, including something for the whole family with an U16 5k, adult 5k, a 10k, and a half marathon to choose from! Come and run the event at Hillsborough Castle in 2024 and take the opportunity to race around this unique location! These races will start within the beautiful Grounds of Hillsborough Castle, before heading out onto the surrounding forest areas of Hillsborough and taking in historic attractions in the local area such as Hillsborough Fort and Hillsborough Lake, the half marathon & 10k will then head out on to Ballynahinch road before re-joining the Castle grounds to finish in the event village. Each mile is accurately marked out with distance flags and we have plenty of helpers to keep you on track and to encourage you on your way to the finish.

This event is part of Hillsborough Castle and Gardens Running Festival.
