Breaking The Laws is a running event in North Berwick that honours the Scottish Commandos and raises funds for Scottish Veterans Residences.

The 30K route starts and finishes in North Berwick and is divided into three relay friendly legs. The first leg climbs North Berwick Law then follows the John Muir Way to East Linton. The second leg goes from East Linton up Trapain Law via the River Tyne and returns to East Linton. The third leg returns to North Berwick and has no significant hill on that section.

The event features chip timing, medal and event t shirt, hydration stations, relay changeover area, full marshals, first aid cover and free car parking.
