The Two Breweries Hill Race

Innerleithen, United Kingdom • 27 Sep 2025

The Two Breweries Hill Race is a challenging 30 km (18 miles) hill running event held annually in the scenic Scottish Borders, starting from the historic Traquair House in Innerleithen and finishing at Broughton Ales brewery in Broughton Village. Featuring approximately 1500 meters (4900 feet) of ascent, the course traverses hill tracks, open heather, and some country roads, with eight marshalled checkpoints and water stations. The race celebrates local brewing heritage by awarding finishers with a bottle of ale.

Strict safety and kit requirements apply due to the demanding terrain. The event fosters a friendly atmosphere with prizegiving and refreshments at the finish, attracting experienced hill runners since 1983. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
