William Wallace Running Festival
The William Wallace Running Festival is a multi-distance running event in Stirling, Scotland, held on 10 October 2026. It offers a mix of ultra-distance, road and community races that use routes through the historic Stirling area and surrounding countryside.
Distances include:
- 70 km ultra solo or relay, teams of 3 or 6.
- 50 km ultra solo or relay, teams of 3 or 6.
- 10 km out-and-back road run.
- 1 mile traffic-free fun run for younger participants.
The 70 km and 50 km options are looped routes that pass local landmarks and landscapes such as the Wallace Monument, the Ochil Hills, the site of the Battle of Bannockburn, Stirling Castle, Cambuskenneth Abbey, the River Forth and nearby reservoirs and woodlands. Both ultra distances support solo entries and relay teams with 3 or 6 stage changeovers and five aid stations positioned on the course.
The 10 km follows a generally flat out-and-back alignment beside the River Forth and crosses the historic Stirling Old Bridge. The 1 mile event is a flat, traffic-free route that shares the same start and finish area as the other festival races to give younger runners a parallel experience.
Charity partners listed for the festival include MND Scotland and Macmillan Cancer Support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
