Event details

Entry for the 2025 Beast Race will open soon!

Participants are sure to earn the feeling of accomplishment at the Banchory Beast Race! This much-loved event features more than 30 epic obstacles. The 10km route is peppered with challenges that will have runners crawling, jumping, and dragging their way to the finish line.

The awesome location at Knockburn Loch mixes thick clay mud with icy dunkings in the lake, and there's big enterainment all the way round the course. 

Expect the unexpected with a variety of bonus features on the day, and fuel up with street food from the vendor stalls at the end of the run. 

Our army of volunteers will be there to cheer you on as you conquer The Beast!
