Thousands of runners turned out as Run Balmoral made a triumphant return to the Balmoral Estate over the weekend.

The event saw runners of all ages tackle distances from 5K to 10K, with stunning views of the Balmoral Estate providing a breathtaking backdrop. From club athletes to fun runners and families, the event brought together a vibrant mix of people, united by energy, determination, and community.

Spectators lined the course, creating a buzzing atmosphere as they cheered on friends, family, and fellow runners.

Organisers also announced a new sustainability initiative for this year’s event.

“In 2025, Run Balmoral will support one of the largest nature restoration projects in the Cairngorms by planting a tree for every runner who signs up.”

Organisers said. “It’s a major step in our sustainability efforts, and could see over 5,000 trees added to the River Dee catchment area.”
