Kinloss Running Festival

The Kinloss Running Festival, held at Kinloss Barracks Training Area on Scotland's Moray coast, offers a unique running experience on runways, taxiways, and roads within a former airfield. Scheduled for August 30-31, 2025, the event features multiple distances including a 1K Fun Run, 5K, 10K, and the Ray Hughes Half Marathon, all on flat, officially measured courses with minimal elevation. A standout is the Back Yard Ultra, a challenging 4.1-mile loop run hourly until one runner remains, combining off-road and runway terrain.

The festival fosters a supportive atmosphere with aid stations, a race village, and proceeds benefiting SSAFA and the Royal Engineers Association. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
