Organised by Five Star Active, the Auchterarder Running Festival brings together runners of all levels over a scenic weekend in Perthshire. On Saturday, the event kicks off with a Junior Fun Run (~1 km, ages 4–15), followed by a 10 km road race that loops through the beautiful town and countryside.  On Sunday, participants take on the half marathon, accurately measured and starting at The Community School of Auchterarder.  For those seeking an extra challenge, the Double Dare invites participants to complete both the 10 km and half marathon—earning separate medals for each, two technical finishers’ T‑shirts, plus an exclusive “triple bling” finisher medal. The festival atmosphere includes generous cut-off times, hydration from Highland Spring, race results via text or online, and a buzzing vibe throughout the weekend.
