Join us in celebrating the 10th birthday of Run the Blades on 18th-20th July 2025.
Whether you fancy a Friday night 10K with friends, taking on the half marathon or stepping up to the 50K, there's a race for you at Run the Blades. Or, why not take on all three distances over the course of the weekend? We also have a free 1 miler for under 16s on the Saturday. RTB has grown to become one of the largest trail running events in the UK and is a totally unique event held exclusively within the UK’s largest onshore wind farm, ScottishPower Renewables' Whitelee Wind Farm.
So, what to expect? Turbines towering 140 metres above your head, robust route signage, friendly marshals and support, the best race medal and amazing goody bag (we put the 'good' in goody bag), a vibrant Event Village with music, a cracking coffee van and food trucks. Three challenging routes and a bit of a hill (which everyone 'loves') to test yourself near the end.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
