Event overview

Both the Half-Marathon and The Buckland Burn Up are wonderfully scenic, but challenging routes. Both come with fantastic sea-side views, tranquil woodland settings, and beautiful farmland, all set in and around the lovely harbour town of Kirkcudbright. The Junior Fun Run (5-14) is a roughly 1km route round the park and parts of the town. We also have a Mini's Dash, which is a free to enter on the day run around the park (4 and under, parental supervision is required)

This event is part of Kirkcudbright Half Marathon and Buckland Burn Up.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
