“Follow in the Footsteps of Legends”

Step onto Scotland’s most storied battlefields, where warriors once fought for freedom, and take on your own epic challenge! Are you ready to take the field?

The William Wallace Running Festival is the combined forces of Peter Ness, an experienced Race Director and owner of Scurry Events, and Gregg, Craig and Graham Coull of the family operated You Can Sport, the leading event announcing and endurance sports coaching business based in the City of Stirling.

MND Scotland is the official charity partner for the William Wallace Running Festival. Funds raised through this partnership will support MND Scotland’s range of support services, including financial assistance, counselling, bereavement support, policy and advocacy, and vital research into finding effective treatments and ultimately a cure for MND.
