Tiree 10k & Half Marathon

The Tiree 10k & Half Marathon, set against the backdrop of Hebridean island beauty, invites runners from all walks of life and across various skill levels to experience one of Scotland's most picturesque running events. The race takes place annually on May 1st, 2027, offering a perfect blend of challenging routes and serene coastal scenery.
The event begins with sign-in at An Talla starting at 11am where participants can collect their numbers before the main attraction: a scenic run along Sorobaidh Beach that starts promptly at 2pm. The race features two distances — the Tiree 10k and Half Marathon, both following coastal paths to Hynish with slight variations in route. Runners of all abilities are welcome; from casual joggers enjoying the breathtaking views to competitive athletes aiming for personal bests.
Tiree's pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and warm sunshine create an idyllic setting for runners looking to immerse themselves in nature while pushing their limits. The race courses wind through stunning landscapes, offering participants a unique opportunity to connect with the island’s natural beauty during their run.
After crossing the finish line, all participants will receive a goodie bag upon registration and a memorable race momento at the end of the day — crafted locally and sustainably in recognition of Tiree's commitment to environmental stewardship. The evening festivities include an unforgettable ceilidh dance starting at 7:30pm at An Talla, followed by prize presentations around 10pm.
Since its inception in 2006, this event has grown into a beloved fixture on the island’s calendar, attracting runners from as far away as Slovakia, Spain, Brazil, Canada, Germany, and Australia. The friendly atmosphere extends beyond race day with lively post-race celebrations that continue well into the night.
For those interested in expanding their challenge, there's also an opportunity to participate in a tri-island event by completing races on Mull, Coll, and Tiree for a special medal and recognition as having achieved the fastest combined time. Detailed information about this additional challenge can be found at .
Registration fees are non-refundable; therefore, it's important to ensure you're available on race day before signing up. Event insurance is also offered during the sign-up process for added peace of mind.
