Kinloss Running Festival

Kinloss, United Kingdom • 30-31 Aug 2025

Kinloss Running Festival takes place at Kinloss Barracks Training Area, Moray coast, Scotland. The event offers multiple distances: 1K Fun Run, 5K, 10K, and the Ray Hughes Half Marathon, all run on tarmac/concrete surfaces around the airfield. A standout feature is the Back Yard Ultra, a 4.1-mile yard run that continues on the hour, every hour, until one runner remains, with a night loop on road and runway.

Routes are broadly flat with minimal elevation. The festival includes a race village, marshals, aid stations for the standard distances, and a separate prize structure. Proceeds go to SSAFA and the Royal Engineers Association. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
