Tweed Valley Forest Ultra Trail

View all races for Nov 2026

The Tweed Valley Ultra is a trail running event based at Glentress Peel Visitor Centre near Peebles, with 50K and 67K routes exploring the forests, hills and river valleys of the Scottish Borders. Both distances start and finish at the Peel Centre Trailhead and follow fully marked courses through the heart of the Tweed Valley.

Runners tackle a varied mix of forest paths, tracks, riverside trails, multi use paths and open moorland, with short road sections linking parts of the course. Both routes climb through Glentress and Cardrona forests before reaching the Southern Upland Way and Minch Moor, while the longer route continues across the rolling hills to Three Brethren Cairn and Yair Forest. The 50K has around 1,145m of ascent and the longer route around 1,574m.

Aid stations are positioned along both routes, with drop bag facilities available during the event. The courses require no navigation experience as they are fully marked, while sections reaching around 520m on open moorland make the mandatory kit an important part of preparation for the November conditions.
