Welcome to Scottish Running Week 2025!

Scottish Running Week is back for 2025 and will take place between Monday 2nd and Sunday 8th June 2025.

2025 will be the third Scottish Running Week organised by Athletics Trust Scotland(ATS), and this year we are delighted to have the support of scottishathletics as our official delivery partner. The partnership with scottishathletics will support our efforts to build engagement with Scottish Running Week and celebrate wider the positive impact that running and athletics have.

Scottish Running Week is your chance to celebrate the impact that running, jogging, walking and pushing has on your life. By participating in Scottish Running Week, and donating to Athletics Trust Scotland, you’re helping to share your passion for running and moving with groups and communities across Scotland that struggle to access our sport.

Your kind and generous donations will go directly into our Transforming Lives project, which aims to transform people’s lives through athletics and running. You can read more about how our Transforming Lives Grant Fund has supported communities and groups across Scotland, here.

To celebrate the 2026 Commonwealth Games coming to Glasgow, and the inclusion of the mile distance in the track and field programme, we’re absolutely delighted to introduce ‘Get Active and SMILE!’.

 

‘Get Active and SMILE’ is our call to action for individual runners, clubs, jog groups, and anyone looking to have some fun while moving, to sign up to our event and complete your mile any time, any where, or any way they can – the more innovative and creative the better!

 

There’s two main ways to get involved:

 

Individually

Enter the event on Open Track, make your donation to ATS, and receive your virtual medal! For the super-competitive amongst you, log back in once completing your mile to upload your result to be displayed on the national leaderboard.

 

As a Group (Club/Jog Group/Family etc.)

Everyone from your group enters the event on Open Track, make their donations to ATS, and complete your mile in as fun, social and creatively as you can. Once each group member has completed their mile, log back into Open Track and upload your results. For each participant who completes their mile and uploads their result, the group will be awarded one point. We’ll have separate national leaderboards for clubs and jog groups.

 

 

Prizes

We’ll have prizes for the fastest times on the individual national leaderboard for male, female and age groups. As well as prizes for the club and jog group with the most cumulative points.

 

We will also have some prizes for the most creative, social, and innovative ways of completing your Scottish Running Week miles. Make share to share your stories and social media posts with Athletics Trust Scotland and scottishathletics to showcase your activity across Scottish Running Week.
