🏃🏼‍♀️Sunday at Run Balmoral 2026 didn’t quite go to plan with the weather, but that didn’t stop hundreds of runners having an amazing day on our gorgeous trails! ❄️ Enjoy our recap of the day!

🏃And was this really TWO weeks ago? 🏃

It wasn't the weather we hoped for, or our usual stunning route for the 15 Miler, but we have some great memories of Sunday at Run Balmoral 2026!

We're sure our video will bring back your great memories too!

We're always amazed to see (and read about) the range of charities our runners take on Run Balmoral to help.

The funds raised by our 2026 event will go well beyond supporting our partner charities VSA, Marie Curie UK and Kayleigh's Wee Stars

We saw runners supporting Charlie House HQ, SAMH, BB14, Gathimba Edwards Foundation, MND Association and so many more.

And that's Run Balmoral done for another year!

🙏Thank you to all our runners, spectators, volunteers, management, charities and vendors who make our event so special.

🙏Thanks also to our sponsors and everyone at the Balmoral Estate, whose support makes the event itself possible.

🙏And a final thank you to the runners in our James & George Collie 15 Mile Trail Race for their patience and understanding. The last thing any race organiser wants to do is make changes at the last minute, but sometimes they have no option.
We really appreciate the words of support we've had from runners and are so pleased to hear (whisper it) that some of them actually enjoyed the two-lap course as much as the original. It was a different challenge, of course, but still a challenge, and one that played its full part in an extraordinary event. Here's to hoping for better weather next year!

All race results are now available on the krono:sports website:

https://mytime.kronosports.uk/results.aspx?CId=20177&RId=645

If you have a query about your results, please contact krono:sports directly: [email protected]

More images and information to come in the next few days ... but from all of us here at Run Balmoral, congratulations ... and Happy Easter!
