The Scurry Around Tentsmuir Forest Trail Running Festival begins in Tayport, Fife, with routes extending into Tentsmuir Forest, situated between Dundee and St Andrews. Scurry Events organizes the festival, with Peter Ness as the listed organiser. The race options include a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a 1.2K family run. This is a mixed-terrain trail event, not a road race, and the start area is connected to the Larick Centre.
The longer races feature distinct one-lap courses; the half marathon, 10K, and 5K runners will not repeat the same short loop. The routes, which are marked and marshalled, traverse forest trails, woodland tracks, coastal paths, sand dunes, and open coastal stretches around Tentsmuir. This setup accommodates various runners, from those new to trail running to individuals seeking a more extensive forest and coastal challenge. The festival also provides support to the Tayport Community Trust and Larick Centre, establishing a local community connection beyond the races.
