About explorr Gravel Running Festival
The explorr Gravel Running Festival takes place in Aberdeenshire on 30 August 2026, hosting four distances across Royal Deeside. Runners can tackle 5K, 10K, Half Marathon or Marathon distances on gravel tracks and forest paths that loop around Banchory and venture onto the edge of the Cairngorms National Park. The terrain is designed to be accessible rather than technical, offering wide, runnable surfaces through the countryside between road sections.
This event is built around the growing sport of gravel running, welcoming participants across a range of abilities who want to move beyond traditional road racing. Families are also catered for, with a Kids Race featuring 1K loops for ages 5 to 11 as part of the programme.
