The William Wallace Running Festival at Stirling Sports Village offers an array of race options designed for runners of all levels and ages. At its heart is the William Wallace Ultra, which presents athletes with a rigorous loop through the rich history and picturesque landscapes of Stirling. This ultra-distance event can be tackled solo or as part of relay teams comprising three or six members. The route winds past iconic landmarks such as the towering Wallace Monument, majestic Stirling Castle, the hallowed grounds of the Battle of Bannockburn, and historic Cambuskenneth Abbey. In addition to these monumental sites, runners will enjoy scenic vistas like the rolling Ochil Hills and serene stretches along the River Forth. Aid stations are strategically placed throughout both ultra-distance courses for support during this demanding run. Relay teams can switch at designated changeover points set up around Stirling Sports Village, ensuring smooth transitions. For those looking to experience something more manageable yet equally rewarding, the Braveheart 10K offers a flat and straightforward out-and-back course along the River Forth, featuring a distinctive crossing of the historic Stirling Old Bridge. This event is ideal for runners seeking an engaging challenge without the rigors of long-distance running. Completing the festival’s offerings is the Wallace Warriors fun run, a one-mile route designed specifically for children in a safe and traffic-free environment within Stirling Sports Village. Participants can immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere while enjoying a family-friendly event that celebrates the spirit of William Wallace.

About Stirling
Learn more about the host city, Stirling.
Stirling is a city in the central lowlands of Scotland, and historically the county town of Stirlingshire. For centuries this was the main route between the Highlands and the Lowlands, guarded by the castle on its battleship of a crag, and with the River Forth sweeping round as a moat. The Scots won two famous victories against the English on the nearby fields, at Stirling Bridge and at Bannockburn. Medieval Scottish rulers made it their residence and capital.
