William Wallace Running Festival

70km
Solos, Relay teams of 3 or 6

3 or 6 Relay Stage changeovers and 5 Aid stations

The longest event of the festival – a spectacular 70km loop of historic Stirling. Starting in view of Wallace Monument, and under the shadows of the Ochil Hills, you will then weave your way past the Battle of Bannockburn, climb into the Campsie Fells and Lewis Hill high above North Third Reservoir, before heading through Kings Park – once the hunting ground of royalty – and past Kings Knott ancient gardens. You’ll head up over the Stirling Castle with views over the River Forth, past Kier Estate where the SAS founder Sir David Stirling once lived, through the market village of Bridge of Allan rising to Cockburn Reservoir and into the Ochil Hills. Going through Jerah Forrest and returning via the protected village of Blairlogie, Wallace Monument, Cambuskenneth Abbey and the riverside path. It will be an unforgettable journey!
