We’re kicking off Burns Night 2026 celebrations with something brand new (and a little bit different!) – the Simon Howie 5k Puddin’ Race!

Taking place on Sunday 25th January 2026 at 10.30am, this fun-filled run is the perfect way to celebrate Scotland’s national bard and, of course, the nation’s favourite dish – the haggis!

🎽 About the Race
For just £15 entry, runners can enjoy a one-of-a-kind Burns Night experience. Not only that, but we’re hoping £1 from every entry will go directly to SAMH (Scottish Association for Mental Health) – and all race profits will be donated to the charity too. So, you’ll be running for fun and for a fantastic cause.

Every finisher will receive:
✨ A super cute finisher’s medal
✨ Some exclusive stickers
✨ And best of all… a haggis of your choice (Original, Vegetarian, Gluten Free or even Chocolate!)

🏆 The Great Chieftain o’ The Puddin’ Race
The first runner across the finish line won’t just get bragging rights – they’ll be crowned The Great Chieftain o’ The Puddin’ Race!
Our champion will also take home:
👕 A special winner’s T-shirt
🏆 A trophy fit for a Burns Night hero

👕 Puddin’ Race Merch
When signing up, you can also order some exclusive Puddin’ Race merch including:
Commemorative race T-shirt

👦 Free 1k Kids Fun Run
We haven’t forgotten the wee ones! There will be a FREE 1k fun run for kids, making this a family-friendly event. All young runners will get:
🥔 Taylors Haggis Crisps
🥣 A Stoats oat bar
⭐ Some fun stickers for finishing!

🍴 Post-Race Refreshments
Once the running is done, stick around and refuel with a buffet and refreshments – the perfect way to round off a brilliant Burns celebration.
