Dumyat Hill Race

The Dumyat Hill Race is the University of Stirling's flagship running event, and a popular fixture on the Scottish hill running calendar. 

This race provides a fun, challenging event set around our beautiful campus. The Dumyat Hill Race doubles as the Scottish Student Sport Hill Running Championship and Scottish Hill Running Race. The 49th Dumyat Hill Race will be back in May 2024, and we look forward to welcoming all runners back on campus soon.

Supporting the Future Forest Company

The Future Forest Company (sister organisation to Trees not Tees), are on a mission to plant enough trees by 2030 to remove 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Individually, trees are a powerful tool for carbon sequestration. As forests, they play an even more valuable role in supporting ecosystem regeneration and biodiversity.

They are planting over 300,000 trees on the iconic Dumyat hillside estate, using a range of tree species, predominantly native broadleaf. Your entry to the race gives you the opportunity to contribute to the ecological restoration of the area and sponsor the planting of a tree at Dumyat. You’ll receive a certificate with the species and What3Words location of your sapling.
