About Ballater Games Hill Race
Held as part of the Ballater Highland Games at Monaltrie Park in Aberdeenshire, this hill race takes place on 13 August 2026 and offers a 3.5 km trail route with approximately 200m of climbing. The course starts from the games arena, passes through Ballater village and crosses the River Dee before tackling the hill ascent to the summit, then retraces the same path back to the finish.
The event sits within a full day of traditional Highland Games celebrations, allowing runners to be part of a wider festival atmosphere. It's an opportunity to experience hill racing in a distinctive Scottish setting, combining a short, sharp climb with the social character of a heritage games day.
