THE IRON KEEP- 5 HOUR SIEGE RUN
Introducing our newest event, The Iron Keep – 5 Hour Siege Run.
Set in and around a medieval village, this unique multi-lap endurance race challenges runners to complete as many laps of a 5km course, within five hours. Starting in full daylight and finishing after dark, the event evolves as the hours pass — with the village coming alive under torchlight, traditional music echoing through the square, and spectators lining the course for every lap.
​
Whether you race solo or as part of a pair or quad, The Iron Keep is as much about strategy and atmosphere as it is endurance. With a central village hub, team camps, a tavern-style aid station, and fancy dress strongly encouraged, this is not just a race you run — it’s an experience you become part of. From first lap to final bell, The Iron Keep delivers a truly unforgettable day-to-night challenge.

Further Information
The Iron Keep – 5 Hour Siege Run takes place on 4 April at Carron Valley, set within a medieval village backdrop that transforms from daylight into torchlit darkness as the race unfolds. The races start from 10:00, with registration open from 08:30. . Entries open on 1 February and are strictly limited to 400 runners to preserve the atmosphere and quality of the event.
