Cornhill Highland Games

The Cornhill Highland Games, held in Cornhill near Banff, Aberdeenshire, is a celebrated annual event attracting local and visiting participants from northeast Scotland and beyond. The 2025 edition features a full program including traditional Heavy and Light Events, Tug o’ War, Highland Dancing, Pipe Bands, stalls, and entertainment. Notably, it hosts two road races: the 10K and the Knock Hill Race, an 8.5-mile challenging course ascending Knock Hill and returning to the Games field, both concluding with a festive final lap in the arena.

The races require advance registration, have a £15 entry fee including a medal and goody bag, and offer prize money sponsored by Motive Offshore. Free parking and on-site facilities enhance the welcoming atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
