Hillsborough Castle & Gardens Running Festival
The Hillsborough Castle & Gardens Running Festival takes place on 25 July 2027 within the grounds of Hillsborough Castle and Gardens. The event supports Northern Ireland Hospice and is organised by RunThrough. Routes start and finish inside the castle grounds and run through historic gardens and adjacent open parkland, with a festival atmosphere at the event village.
Available race distances:
- 10K
- Half Marathon
Entries include a themed medal, free race photos, chip timed results, and post race goodies. Each kilometre on the course is marked with distance flags and marshals provide guidance and on-course support. The event village offers food and drink options and finish-line freebies from partner organisations.
A discounted event t-shirt is available at checkout for more than 30 percent off, with the event logo printed on the chest; this option is provided in partnership with RT Kit as part of a pricing and quality strategy. The organiser has noted that sustainability is an increasing priority in event planning.
