William Wallace Ultra – 70km

Solos, or Relay Teams of 3 or 6  |  3 or 6 Relay Stage Changeovers  |  5 Aid Stations

The longest event of the festival — a spectacular 70km loop of historic Stirling. Starting in view of the Wallace Monument and under the shadows of the Ochil Hills, you will weave your way past the Battle of Bannockburn, climb into the Campsie Fells and Lewis Hill high above North Third Reservoir, before heading through Kings Park — once the hunting ground of royalty — and past Kings Knott ancient gardens. You'll pass over Stirling Castle with sweeping views across the River Forth, by Keir Estate where SAS founder Sir David Stirling once lived, through the market village of Bridge of Allan and up to Cockburn Reservoir and into the Ochil Hills. The route returns through Jerah Forest, the protected village of Blairlogie, Wallace Monument, Cambuskenneth Abbey and the riverside path. An unforgettable journey.

William Wallace Ultra – 50km

Solos, or Relay Teams of 3 or 6  |  3 or 6 Relay Stage Changeovers  |  5 Aid Stations

A brilliant loop of historic Stirling. Starting in view of the Wallace Monument and under the shadow of the Ochil Hills, you will weave your way past the Battle of Bannockburn, Kings Park — once the hunting ground of royalty — and Kings Knott ancient gardens. You'll then ascend to the imposing Stirling Castle with panoramic views over the River Forth, pass Keir Estate where SAS founder Sir David Stirling once lived, and continue through the market village of Bridge of Allan up to Cockburn Reservoir, before returning via the iconic Wallace Monument, Cambuskenneth Abbey and the riverside path. An unforgettable journey.

Braveheart 10km

A flat, out-and-back route starting in view of the Wallace Monument and under the shadows of the Ochil Hills. The course follows the River Forth and crosses the historic Stirling Old Bridge — rebuilt many times after fierce battles, it is best known for the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297, where Sir William Wallace and Andrew Moray defeated English forces. Follow in the footsteps of icons and create your own moment in history.

Wallace Warriors – 1 Mile Fun Run

A traffic-free, flat course for our young warriors to release some energy and experience the very same start and finish line as every other athlete in the festival — creating their own tall tales of daring-do and their own piece of history.
