Event overview

Run on our traditional course, our super fast route offers fantastic views of Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument and the Ochil Hills. Each year we see a large number of finishers running their personal bests and that makes the race very attractive to runners from all over Scotland! Despite the super fast times recorded each year, our race is not only for the speedy runners! It doesn’t matter if you run 30mins or 1h30mins, everyone is welcome and the last finisher will get just as big a cheer as the first finisher! Our aim is to give all runners the chance of doing their best time but enjoying it whilst they do so. We had a fantastic event in 2025 with the race being sold out with a record entry. We offered a whole range of race day features for our runners and we received great feedback after the event, so we have brought them back again this year!  Some features for 2026 include: Pacers to 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60mins – easily identifiable by carrying a flag with target time. A piper at the most scenic part of the course as you approach Wallace Monument. Cheerleading squad suppporting our runners at 1.5k and 8.5k. Music on the course. FREE pre and post race massage at the start/finish area. Clock at half-way for 5k split time. Goody bag to all finishers. Instructor-led warm up. Bouncy castles and face painting to keep kids entertained!

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.
