William Wallace Running Festival

The William Wallace Running Festival takes place at Stirling Sports Village and offers a range of race distances for participants of all ages and abilities. The festival’s flagship event is the William Wallace Ultra, featuring a challenging loop through the historic landscapes of Stirling. Participants can choose between an ultra-distance course or a shorter route, both available for solo runners or relay teams of three or six. The routes showcase significant landmarks such as the Wallace Monument, Stirling Castle, the Battle of Bannockburn, and Cambuskenneth Abbey, as well as scenic spots like the Ochil Hills and River Forth. Aid stations are available throughout the courses, and relay runners switch at designated changeover points. For those seeking a shorter challenge, the Braveheart 10K follows a flat, out-and-back course along the River Forth, including a crossing of the historic Stirling Old Bridge. The festival also includes a one-mile, traffic-free fun run – the Wallace Warriors – providing a safe, exciting opportunity for children to participate and experience the vibrant event atmosphere.
