Event overview
The BrewDog Christmas Run takes place on 29 December 2025. The event finishes at BrewDog DogTap in Ellon and follows the old railway line to Ellon. The event is described as a fun run rather than a race; participants can run at their own pace. Total capacity for the event is 200 places and the event status is open.
Route, logistics and entry
Start options and distances:
- BrewDog Castlegate start - 21 miles (34k)
- Dyce start - 15 miles (24k)
Participants can join at Castlegate for a briefing and travel by train to the route, or meet at the Dyce checkpoint. There are two drinks stations en route stocked with beer, snacks and water. Bag transportation is provided from Castlegate and Dyce to DogTap. To return, participants may arrange a lift or walk from DogTap to the nearby Park & Ride for regular buses to Union Square. Participants are asked to dress appropriately for winter conditions.
Entry fees vary by registration date, typically ranging from £42 to £50; a service fee of 4% (minimum 50p) applies. Finishers receive a bespoke medal and a goody bag containing a special edition t-shirt, beer, a buff, snacks, water and other items. There is an option to have a tree planted instead of a t-shirt, or to include both for an additional £6. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
