Mormond Hill Run 2026
The Mormond Hill Run marks its 10th anniversary on 16 August 2026. The route starts from the Ritchie Hall playing field in Strichen and covers a total distance of 5.6 miles (9k) with approximately 600 ft of ascent. The course takes in wide views of the Buchan countryside and from the summit offers visibility from the sea to Bennachie.
All finishers receive a bespoke medal. Prize awards include an overall winners trophy, a first local trophy for Strichen address, a first U18 trophy, first and second for male and female, and age category prizes subject to entry numbers. Prizes are supported by the event sponsor Pie Aroma.
Entries are priced at £15, with on-the-day entry possibly available at £20 if places remain. No refunds are offered and exchanges are handled at the organiser's discretion.
Race support includes one water station at Hunters Lodge near the top of the hill, a finisher’s bottle of water, and additional refreshments such as teas and baked items provided for donations to Ritchie Hall funds. Spectators may also purchase refreshments for donation. Parking is available at Ritchie Hall free of charge but may be limited. Changing and toilet facilities are available at the start and finish. Marshals will be positioned at strategic locations to provide safety and route guidance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
