Barclays Hampden Running Festival
The Barclays Hampden Running Festival is an Up and Running Events race held on 22 November 2026 at Hampden Park, Glasgow. The organiser operates entries via the booking partner Let's Do This; an account with that provider is required to complete registration.
Event formats referenced by the organiser include:
- 5k
- 10k
- Half marathon
Races are fully chip timed and the course is measured. Race bibs and the timing chip are collected at the registration desk on event day and the chip must be secured to an outer garment. Participants receive race-day information by email in the week before the event. Race photos are published on the organiser's website after the event and are free to view.
Participant support and on-course facilities include hydration stations, kilometre markers, course marshals, music, an instructor-led warm up, and goody bags with sports nutrition items. Finishers receive a medal.
Rules and practical notes from the organiser: 5k runners should be 11 or older and 10k runners should be older than 15. Dogs are not permitted. Standard headphones are not allowed; bone-conduction headphones are permitted. Teams are permitted and buggy use is typically allowed depending on surface type. Typical cut off times are 1.5 hours for 5k/10k and 3 hours for half marathons.
Entry and refund policies: online entries commonly close two days before the event; on-the-day entries may be available if the event has not sold out. Refunds are offered up to 30 days before the event; later changes follow the organiser's transfer and voucher rules. If an event is cancelled credits are returned on the booking platform; if postponed original bookings are honoured or credits can be returned.
