The annual Edinburgh University Hare & Hounds Braids Hill XC Race is back! Taking place on Saturday 14th March 2026 over the scenic, rolling hills of Southern Edinburgh, with the stunning city skyline in the backdrop. The undulating course is very popular with local club runners, university students and alumni, as well as our peers at universities countrywide.
The race is followed by a prize-giving, and the festivities continue late into the night with our post-race ceilidh and after-party (ticketed separately – contact euhhsocsec@gmail.com)!
The course is sometimes wet and includes one steep downhill on each lap. Fell or studded racing shoes are recommended, but not spikes as much of the course runs over a gravel bridle path. A map of the course is available on the Hare and Hounds website page below: http://haries.eusu.ed.ac.uk
All competitors have the option to enter either the 5k or the 10k race.
Please make sure to select the correct link for the distance you wish to run as we will be unable to allow last-minute changes if the races are over capacity!
5km Race (1 loop) 1.30pm
10km Race (2 loops) 2.15pm
