About Run the Borders
Run the Borders takes place on the Borders Abbeys Way, a circular trail route through the Scottish Borders that connects the ruined abbeys of Melrose, Dryburgh, Kelso and Jedburgh. The course mixes river banks, farm tracks, forest trails and quiet country roads with no more than half tarmac, rising approximately 1900 metres over its full length.
Participants can choose between a 50 km or 109 km distance, both starting and finishing at West View in Melrose on 21–22 August 2027. The route is waymarked with fixed posts and supplemented by the organiser's signage. Support includes GPS trackers, checkpoint marshals, a sweeper vehicle and first aid cover. The 109 km features 12 checkpoints and five drop bag locations, while the 50 km has four checkpoints and one drop bag location. Entrants must be 18 or over and cannot bring dogs on the route.
