Recurring Half Marathon races near Dundee
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Run Scotland Rannoch 10k, Half Marathon & Marathon
Run Scotland Rannoch Marathon / Half Marathon
The Run Scotland Rannoch Marathon / Half Marathon begins at Weller Poley Park in Kinloch Rannoch, near Pitlochry in Perthshire. It features 21.1 km and 42.2 km road races held in autumn. The marathon covers 42.2 km on country roads, including 259 metres of elevation gain and reaching a peak of approximately 249 metres. It is not a flat course, though it remains on paved rural roads.
The course starts with a circuit of Kinloch Rannoch before proceeding onto country roads through the Loch Rannoch area. Race-day logistics are straightforward: parking is available in a field near the start, marshals guide vehicles, number collection is a short walk away, and the start line is visible from the parking area. A key practical note for participants is that the start line toilets can experience long queues.
Perth Running Festival
The Perth Running Festival begins and ends at Perth Racecourse in Perth, Scotland, with the Half Marathon start located before the grandstand. This road running event offers three distances: a Half Marathon, a 7.5km race, and a 1 mile fun run, also known by the racecourse-style name “8 Furlong.” The Half Marathon course is flat and fast, suitable for runners aiming for a personal best or those new to the distance.
The route traces the River Tay, goes by Scone Palace, and incorporates North Inch parkland before crossing parts of the city. Most of the course utilizes traffic-free park paths, riverside stretches, and paths around the racecourse, blending open green areas with urban running. The shorter races remain near the racecourse and adjacent paths, whereas the Half Marathon extends further along the river and through the adjacent parkland. Scone Palace provides the event's primary historical connection, linked to the Stone of Destiny and the coronations of Scottish monarchs.
Dalmeny Estate Trail Half Marathon
The Dalmeny Halloween Trail Half is a low-key autumn half marathon held in South Queensferry, near Edinburgh, on Halloween. Organized by Blast Running, it begins at 10:30 AM with a limited field of approximately 300 participants, positioning it more as a local trail event than a large urban race.
The out-and-back route commences and concludes at Longcraigs Scout Hall, roughly a mile from Dalmeny Rail Station. Participants will navigate wooded trails, riverside paths, farm tracks, roads, and paths within Dalmeny Estate and Cammo Nature Reserve. The course features an undulating terrain with several short, steep ascents. Headphones are permitted, and registration closes when all spots are filled.
Scurry Around Tentsmuir Forest Trail Running Festival
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.
Holyrood Park 5k/10k/Half Marathon
The Holyrood Park MoRun begins at 9:30 AM in Edinburgh’s Holyrood Park. Runners will assemble near Queen’s Drive for this November charity event. Adult participants can select a 5k, 10k, or half marathon, while children can compete in a chip-timed 1.5k Mini MoRun.
The courses wind through Holyrood Park, centering the event in one of Edinburgh’s most distinctive natural areas instead of a typical city-centre route. This event is part of the MoRunning series and benefits Movember, an organization that raises funds and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. The event is designed for everyday runners, families, friends, and children. Fundraising pages or donations can be made during registration, and MoRunning t-shirts and vests are available for those wishing to embrace the Movember aesthetic.
Holyrood Park 5k/10k/Half Marathon - November 2026
MoRun d'Édimbourg 1,5k, 5k, 10k et semi-marathon
MoRun Edinburgh takes place in late November in Edinburgh, Scotland, offering four distances: 1.5 km, 5 km, 10 km, and a half marathon (21.0975 km). As part of the MoRun series, its flexible format allows participants to select a distance suited to their preferences, rather than a single mandatory race.
The 10 km is the most frequently chosen distance, with the 1.5 km option providing a shorter route for families and novice runners. The event welcomes beginners, seasoned runners, couples, and families. The Edinburgh location allows participants to explore city sights and heritage along the road courses.
The 1.5k, 5k, 10k and Half Marathon Edinburgh MoRun
The Edinburgh MoRun takes place in Holyrood Park during November, offering 1.5k, 5k, 10k, and half marathon distances. All races commence and conclude on Queens Drive. This event is integrated into the MoRunning series, which supports Movember. Consequently, the day emphasizes men's health fundraising alongside race completion. The designated causes are prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention, all linked to the event's moustache motif.
The Mini MoRun provides a chip-timed 1.5k for children. Adults can select from a 5k run up to a half marathon. Participants receive a MoRunning medal and headband. Additional awards are presented to the fastest MoBro and MoSista, alongside spot prizes for the best costumes and moustaches. The event accommodates families, novices, club athletes, charity participants, and children. Donations to Movember can be made during the registration process.

Dundee Training Notes
Dundee hosts 25 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals get plenty done from the city centre, because Dundee gives you the Firth of Tay, Dundee Law, Balgay Hill, and Camperdown Park without much fuss. You can knock out 6 miles short or 6 miles medium. Sweatshop Running Community meets at David Lloyd in Monifieth on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday. Hawkhill Harriers have an intermediate group at the RPC in Caird Park on Wednesday evenings. Camperdown Parkrun gives Saturday legs a proper test, because locals know it is not your average 5k. DRAM, HALF DRAM, Dundee 10K, and White Tops Hill Race anchor the calendar.
Locals ride out with Dundee Thistle Cycling Club and Dundee Wheelers Cycling Club, depending on the day and the mood. Dundee Thistle runs often leave from the lift area under the Tay Road Bridge, Invergowrie, or Camperdown Gates, and Sunday runs at 9.30 usually cover 60 to 80 miles with a cafe stop. Dundee Wheelers leave Millennium Hall on Thursdays at 9:15 am, and their Saturday Challenge Rides start at 8 am and build from about 50 to 140 miles. The climbs sit in the line of hills through the city, then north into the Sidlaw Hills where Craigowl Hill reaches 455 m.
Spring and summer suit base miles, Z2 rides, intervals, parkrun, and longer loops, because the days open up and the daily maxima nudge higher. Daily maxima nudge 13°C, so locals can train hard without chasing shade all day. Summer gives Dundee Thistle its more competitive Thursday night APR session, and runners get more evening room around Camperdown Park, Balgay Park, Perth Road, and Riverside Drive. Winter stays mild, but air frost changes the feel, so locals keep the work steady, choose grip carefully, and save the sharper crit, gran fondo, and cyclocross energy for better days.
