Turnhouse Hill Race
The Turnhouse Hill Race is held in the Pentland Hills Regional Park with assembly and registration at the Flotterstone car park. The event date is 10/06/2026. Registration takes place near the Pentland café and the race start is a short jog through woodland from the car park.
The event features two courses:
- Senior race: about 5.2 km with 310 m ascent.
- Junior race: about 2.2 km with 160 m ascent.
The senior route is mostly on tracked paths but includes a steep ascent and descent to and from the summit, with a final climb through heather; hill shoes are advised. The junior course is a short out-and-back route that was extended in 2023 and reaches higher up Turnhouse; it is short and steep.
Online registration on SI-Entries opens on May 20th. Senior online entry costs £7 and entry on the day costs £8. Junior entry is free. The registration fee includes a donation to the Pentland Hills Regional Park. Prizes are sponsored by Stewart Brewing.
Facilities are limited: public toilets are available behind the Pentland café and there are no changing or shower facilities. Parking is limited; marshals will assist with parking and organizers encourage car sharing, public transport or cycling. The race is run under SHR rules; participants must carry full body cover appropriate to weather and a whistle. The route will be marshalled.
