Half BraemarAthon, 10K & 10 Mile

View all races for Sep 2027

The Half BraemarAthon offers Half Marathon, 10 mile and 10K road races through the spectacular Royal Deeside countryside, starting and finishing at Braemar Highland Games Centre.

All three distances follow scenic out and back routes towards the Linn of Dee, with runners travelling alongside the River Dee through open countryside surrounded by the Cairngorm mountains. The undulating course combines steady climbs and descents with impressive Highland scenery. The 10K and 10 mile races share the opening sections of the Half Marathon route before turning back at their respective points.

The races are chip timed, with four water stations positioned along the route. All finishers receive a commemorative medal and goodie bag, while prizes recognise the leading male and female runners and age category winners. The combination of challenging terrain and dramatic mountain scenery gives the Half BraemarAthon its distinctive character.
