We are delighted to be returning to the stunning Culzean Castle and Country Park for the 3rd year of our popular trail runs on Sunday, 7th March 2027

With 5km, 10km, and half-marathon trail runs available, there is something for everyone across this breathtaking estate.

Culzean Castle

Culzean Castle and Country Park, situated in Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland, is a glorious estate set within 642 acres of gardens, beaches, woodland and trails. Once the playground of David Kennedy, 10th Earl of Cassillis, the estate is opulent and dramatic, featuring a Swan Pond, ice house, formal gardens and fruit glasshouses.

The castle itself, perched dramatically on the Ayrshire cliffs, was designed by Robert Adam in the late 18th century. Today, it provides a truly spectacular backdrop for our Wild Deer trail runs.
