The BrewDog Christmas Run 

Date

Monday 28th December 2026 - 10.30am

Location

BrewDog Castlegate, Aberdeen, running to BrewDog DogTap, Ellon (Approx 21 miles (34k))

Or

Start at Dyce Railway Station and run 15 miles (24k) to Ellon 

Event Details

This is a fun run - not a race.  We start from BrewDog Castlegate, and run through the streets of Aberdeen, and then on to the old railway line that links Aberdeen to Ellon. On arrival in Ellon, we drop onto the riverside path, as we run through the town towards the home of BrewDog.

If the full run seems a bit much, then you can start at Dyce, and reduce the distance to 15 miles (24k).  Either join us in Castlegate for the briefing and then hop on a train, or just meet us at the Dyce checkpoint for 11.30am

On arrival at DogTap, we will have the use of the museum room at the back, or if the sun is shining, there is plenty of outdoor space.

Getting Home

You can leave Ellon whenever you want, and arrange a lift back, or take the short walk from Dogtap to the Park & Ride, where there are regular buses back to Union Square. 

Checkpoints

There will be two drinks stations en route, stocked with beer, prosecco, plenty of snacks and water!

Dyce (10k) and Udny Station (23k)

Bag Drop

We will arrange to transport your finish line bags from Castlegate or Dyce to the finish so you can have clothes to change into at the end. 

Goody Bag

Participants will receive a bespoke event medal and a great goody bag at the end, containing a special edition t-shirt, beer, snacks, water, and more.

And if you don't want a t-shirt, we'll plant a tree for you instead

Or you can have a t-shirt and a tree for only £6 more.

Entry Fees

Earlybird of £44 until 31st August, £48 until 31st October, and £52 from 1st November
