Bennachie Hill Race

Now in its 21st year, the Bennachie Hill Race is firmly established in the hill running race calendar as one of the most popular races in North-East Scotland.


In 2007 the race was praised by the Daily Telegraph as one of Britain’s Top Ten Big Races for runners of all abilities.


At about 8.3 miles in length and with a total of 1150ft of ascent (12.8k and 550 metres), the race is a great challenge for everyone.


In addition to the main Hill Race, we also hold two races for younger runners: the relays and the Junior Hill Race
