The Kelpies Running Festival

The Kelpies Running Festival

The Kelpies Running Festival is an organised running event at The Helix in Falkirk, presented by Up and Running Events. The event is a chip timed and course measured race that provides finishers' medals, hydration stations, kilometre markers, course marshals, instructor-led warm up, event music, and goody bags that include sports nutrition samples.

Race packs and bibs are collected at the event registration desk on race day; the race chip is affixed to the race bib and must be secured to an outer garment for timing. Participants receive event communications and race-day information by email and can view event photos on the organiser's website after the race.

Entry and participation follow the organiser's policies: online entries typically close two days before the event unless sold out, and on-the-day entries are usually available if places remain. The cancellation and transfer policy specifies refunds up to 30 days before an event, the option to transfer or receive voucher points up to 7 days before, and the ability to transfer a place to another person or run virtually within three days of the event. If an event is cancelled, credits are returned; if postponed, original bookings are honoured or credits issued.

Event rules note age guidance for 5k and 10k distances, restrictions on dogs and standard headphones, and that buggy use depends on the route surface. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
