Moffat Festival of Running

Moffat Festival of Running 2026

The Moffat Festival of Running centres on a 15 km (9.3 mile) multi-terrain main race held under UK Athletics rules with an SAF permit. The event offers both open and local prize categories, with separate veteran classifications for age groups 40+ and 50+. Local eligibility is determined by the organisers.

The main course begins with about 3.75 miles of undulating ground rising roughly 350 feet, followed by just under one mile of steep track gaining about 550 feet; this section can be stony and uneven. After the climb there is a 4.6 mile descent back into Moffat along the A701. Mile markers are provided and drinks, sponges and first aid stations are placed at approximately 3, 5 and 8 miles. The overall course record stands at 47:25 (1989) and the ladies course record at 54:20 (1985).

Entry fees for the main race are Early Bird £14 and Normal Price £16, with a closing date of Friday 10th July 2026 or earlier if the entry limit is reached. Late entries may be accepted on race night and will incur an additional £6 administration charge. The main race minimum age is 17 years. A £3 levy applies to non ScottishAthletics members. No substitute entries or refunds.

Junior races and a tots dash are included, with optional t-shirts for juniors and mementoes for all finishers.
