Barclays Hampden Running Festival
The Barclays Hampden Running Festival is scheduled for 22 November 2026 at Hampden Park in Glasgow. The event is organised by Up and Running Events and uses on-site registration on race day.
Races at this event are chip timed and course measured. Race chips are attached to the race number bib and must be secured to outer clothing to register a time. Race bibs and timing chips are collected at the registration desk on the day; registration typically opens about 1.5 hours before the race.
Participants receive a finishers medal, hydration stations, kilometre markers, course marshals, on-course music, an instructor-led warm up, and goody bags with sports nutrition and offers. Race day photos are made available on the organiser’s website after the event and are free to view.
Entry management follows the organiser’s published policy: refunds are available up to 30 days before an event; transfers or voucher credit can be issued up to 7 days before; and transfers to another person or a virtual entry option are possible up to three days before the event. The organiser sets cut off times for completion of races, typically 1.5 hours for 5k and 10k events and 3 hours for half marathons.
Age guidance follows Scottish Athletics: 5k runners should be 11 or older and 10k runners should be over 15. Children remain the responsibility of their parent or guardian. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
