2018 - PIM To The Rescue!
When the long-standing half marathon at Crathes Castle faced cancellation after its main sponsor stepped away, PIM stepped in — and the 2018 event was saved.
2019 - A Festival Is Born
In just two years we have grown from a single half marathon to a three race running event for runners of all ages and abilities.
2020 & 2021 - Lockdown.
Covid-19 meant we couldn't go ahead with the event, so we had to wait.
2022 - We're Back!
The PIM Running Festival returned to Crathes - and so did the runners!
2023 - Going From Strength to Strength
Returning bigger and better following our successful post COVID comeback.
2024 - Time To Grow
The event has never been more popular so it was time to expand each race and welcome more runners to Crathes Castle.
2025 - Sold Out!
With entries capped at 900, the PIM Running Festival sold out for the very first time.
2026 - Bigger than Ever
Last year every place was gone. If you're thinking about entering the PIM Running Festival this September — don't think too long. Entries are open now.
