​The wait is over, the gates are open, and the "Running Capital of the World" (okay, maybe just Perthshire, but we’ve got the spirit!) is ready for you. If you want to be part of the Auchterarder Running Festival 2026, you need to move faster than a New York cabbie in rush hour! ( Yes, this year we are off to NYC for our festival theme!)

​🚕 WHY YOU NEED TO REGISTER RIGHT NOW:
​The Early Bird Gets the Worm: Our spots vanish in a New York minute. Don’t be the one watching from the sidelines!
​Secure the Bling: We’re talking legendary medals that would make the Statue of Liberty jealous.
​The Double Dare: These limited slots for the ultimate challenge always sell out first. Are you tough enough to take a bite out of the Big Apple?

​🏁 CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE:
​Auchterarder 10K on Sat 12 September
Auchterarder ​Half Marathon on Sunday 13 September
​The Infamous Double Dare (complete both distances)
The ARF Junior Fun Run (FREE TO ENTER)
