The event spans a weekend on 25 and 26 July 2026 and features a range of trail races across estate tracks, heather moorland and Caledonian pine forest, with sections that run alongside the River Tanar.
Races offered include:
- 10 km trail race

The festival programme also includes family-oriented runs such as a Family Mile and a Toddler Dash, the latter noted as a new addition for 2026 with free entry. Organisers provide an athlete guide and have recorded a webinar titled "Countdown to Glen Tanar: All You Need to Know" for participant information. Results from previous years are maintained for reference.
The same organisers list a related night trail event on the Glen Tanar Estate scheduled for 24 October 2026. The festival mentions camping information and practical resources such as essential kit guidance and FAQs to support participants and visitors.
