Be sure to get your tickets as quick as possible for the 2024 Room to Run - this event SELLS OUT fast.

Now in our 10th year, although due to the pandemic in 2020, we're technically celebrating our 9th birthday, this event has gone from strength to strength each year.  Not only do we have the toughest half marathon course in North-East Scotland but our 10k route is also up there as one of the toughest also.  Combined with a more gentle but amazingly fun 5k and children's races from age 5 upwards and over 100 stalls of artisan crafts, food and drink - Room to Run is the race to make a full day for you and the family., 

The Half and the 10k routes are a mix of trail and tarmac based running and route maps are available on Strava for those to look at the routes in more detail - links are provided on the www.roomtorun.uk website.

For those that at the early stages of their running or just looking for a bit of fun then we have the great fun 5k and the Wee Shortie kids fun races for those of all ages and abilities.

All the races start in Huntly's historic town square, go through the arch of the Simpson Building and follow the beautiful tree lined avenue past the ancient Huntly Castle, remarkable for its splendid architecture.

Routes cross the Deveron River and up the long picturesque drive up to the Castle Hotel, thereafter continuing along Marquis Drive. At the end of Marquis Drive, the 10k and the Half continues up and around the Bin Forest with the 5k returning along the Jubilee footpath towards the town.

The Half and 10k course then head off onto well managed forest trail, taking participants into the beautiful countryside that surrounds this historic market town.

The 5k, 10k and Half races all finish back in the town square where participants will be cheered on by many family, friends and supporters as they cross the finish line.

Before and after the races, there will be over 100 local craft and food stands celebrating the food and farming heritage of the area as part of the Huntly Hairst Festival. This year's festival poses to even bigger and better than before with even more stalls, taste sensations

Come along and make a day of it on the 7th September in Huntly, lots of races and activities for all the family.
