Hermitage Trail Runs

The Hermitage Trail Runs, held at the Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill, feature 10km and 5km trail races along with a 1.2km festive fun run. The courses are off-road, clearly marked, and marshaled, offering challenging routes that ascend and descend Blackford Hill, starting from the Hermitage of Braid house. The event encourages festive spirit, with children in the fun run receiving elf hats and being invited to wear festive attire.

Proceeds from the fun run support local charities including Friends of the Hermitage and Braid and Morningside Primary School. Participants enjoy post-race refreshments and a race memento, creating a community-focused and spirited atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
