Welcome to the Milnathort Dash

This year's race will be run on Thursday 25th June 2026 at 7.30pm. 

Organised by Kinross Road Runners, The Milnathort Dash is our annual short distance race for runners that love a run of two halves. The race is mostly on road, with a small section on farm track. It's just over 5 miles but the views are worth the effort.

Will you sprint the hill at the start for a chance of being crowned King or Queen of the hill? Or will you save something for the second half of the race which is nearly all down hill, the choice is yours.

The event is open to all runners aged 16 or over on the day of the race.

The race is run under UK Athletics Rules and is a Scottish Athletics permit event.
