About This Event
Held annually in Scotland's Pentland Hills Regional Park, the Turnhouse Hill Race offers both experienced hill runners and juniors a chance to test themselves on classic Scottish terrain. The senior race follows traditional hill racing principles with a challenging ascent through heather to the summit, while the junior event provides a shorter but equally engaging introduction to hill running. Set in the stunning landscape just south of Edinburgh, this race combines technical hill running with the accessibility of being close to Scotland's capital. The event maintains strong community ties through its partnership with Stewart Brewing and its support of the Pentland Hills Regional Park, making it both a competitive challenge and a celebration of local trail running culture.
