The Two Breweries Hill Race
The Two Breweries Hill Race is a challenging 30 km (18 miles) hill running event held annually in the scenic Scottish Borders, starting from Traquair House in Innerleithen and finishing at Broughton Ales brewery. Featuring approximately 1500 meters (4900 feet) of ascent, the course traverses hill tracks, open heather, and some country roads, with eight marshalled checkpoints and water stations. Established in 1983, the race celebrates local brewing heritage by awarding finishers with a bottle of ale.
It demands fitness and hill experience, requiring runners to carry full emergency kit. The event fosters a vibrant atmosphere, supported by local landowners and community organizations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
