Description

Running beneath the towering turbines of a wind farm might sound surreal—but at Run the Blades, it becomes something unforgettable. Set on the dramatic Whitelee Wind Farm near Glasgow, this race is like no other. As the blades turn slowly overhead, you’ll find yourself immersed in an otherworldly landscape—vast, windswept, and hauntingly beautiful.

Whether you’re tackling the 10K, half marathon, or the full 50K ultra, each distance takes you deep into the heart of this renewable energy giant, where gravel trails weave through moorland and forest, and every rise in the land rewards you with panoramic views. The route is tough but fair—undulating, remote, and absolutely unforgettable.

What sets Run the Blades apart is its atmosphere: electric, welcoming, and full of camaraderie. It’s a race that brings together seasoned trail runners and wide-eyed newcomers alike, all sharing the same awe of the place and the challenge. If you’re looking for a trail event that’s unique, inclusive, and humbling in the best possible way—this is it. Check the organiser’s website for the latest details and get ready to run where the wild wind turns.
