The Hillsborough Castle & Gardens Running Festival is scheduled for 25 July 2027 at Hillsborough Castle and Gardens. The event supports Northern Ireland Hospice and features routes that start and finish within the castle grounds, passing through historic gardens and open parkland with a festival atmosphere.
Two race distances are offered:

Entries include a themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, and post-race goodies. Each kilometre is marked with distance flags and marshals will guide and encourage participants around the course. An event village provides food and drink options and additional free items from partners.
Ticketing is offered in phases with Super Early Bird, Early Bird, and Standard entry windows. A discounted event t-shirt is available for more than 30% off when purchased as part of the entry; the t-shirt is supplied in partnership with RT Kit.
