Rattray Beaver Run - Half Marathon and 10K
The Rattray Beaver Run takes place on 20 September 2026 and has been rebranded from the Rattray Blair Half Marathon and 10K. The event is organised by Blairgowrie and District Rotary and is sponsored by Kilmac for the second year.
Distances
- Half Marathon
- 10K
Both courses start and finish near Rattray Primary School. The routes are accurately measured and run predominantly on quiet, rural roads. The Half Marathon includes a short section of rough track towards the end. There will be three water stations on the Half Marathon course and one on the 10K course. First aid cover will be available.
Entries close on 13 September 2026. Entry fees are £25 for the Half Marathon and £20 for the 10K. The event is not licensed by Scottish Athletics, so no affiliation discount applies. All finishers will receive a quality snood and a bespoke medal. The organiser states that there will be post-race refreshments.
Race rules and logistics include no entries on the day, no number transfers, no refunds and no deferrals. Participants must not take part with dogs, prams or push-chairs. Headphones are discouraged unless medically prescribed; bone-conduction devices are acceptable. All participants must wear their race number on the front of their clothing and keep to the left of the road unless directed otherwise. Parking is available at Rattray Primary School. Prizes will be awarded in multiple age, gender and team categories.
Registration and Start Times
Registration for both events will open at 8.00am at the Community Connect Centre beside Rattray Primary School. Runners will receive their race number at registration. All entrants must register at least 15 minutes before the event starts to allow time to get to the start line.
The Half Marathon will start at 9.15am.
The 10K will start at 10am.
Time Limits
Half Marathon participants must be able to complete the course in 3 hours 15 minutes or less.
10K participants must be able to complete the course in 2 hours or less.
You are welcome to continue to complete the course after the cut-off time but please be aware that marshals etc may have departed the course and you will not receive an official time.
Important Notes
We cannot allow participants to take part with dogs, prams, push-chairs etc due to the nature of the route. For the same reason, we ask runners not to wear headphones unless medically prescribed. Headphones that work by conducting sound through bones and do not sit in the ears are perfectly acceptable.
Participants must keep to the left hand side of the road unless otherwise directed. All participants must wear their race number on the front of their clothing. Please use four safety pins (spare pins available at registration) to assist in identification at the finish line. First aid cover will be available.
