The William Wallace Running Festival takes place in Stirling, Scotland on 10 October 2026. The event offers multiple distances across routes that pass historic sites and countryside.
- 70 km
- 50 km
- 10 km
- 1 mile
The 70 km and 50 km events are offered for solo runners and for relay teams of three or six. Relay options include three or six stage changeovers and the routes are supported by five aid stations. These longer loops start in view of the Wallace Monument and pass landmarks and landscapes around Stirling, including the Battle of Bannockburn area, the Ochil Hills, Campsie Fells, Lewis Hill above North Third Reservoir, Kings Park and Kings Knott, Stirling Castle with views over the River Forth, Keir Estate, Bridge of Allan, Cockburn Reservoir, Jerah Forest, Blairlogie, Cambuskenneth Abbey and riverside paths.
The 10 km Braveheart route is a flat out and back course that runs alongside the River Forth and crosses the Stirling Old Bridge, a historic crossing associated with the 1297 battle at Stirling Bridge.
The Wallace Warriors 1 mile is a traffic free flat run that uses the same start and finish area as the other festival events to offer a short distance for young participants.
An athlete guide and course maps are available for participants. Charity partners named for the event include MND Scotland and Macmillan Cancer Support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
