Bilfinger partners with Run Balmoral to host the 2025 Bilfinger 6 Mile Trail Race - a new feature at next year’s running festival.

This exciting addition replaces the previously held duathlon, responding to participants’ preference for another running event on the Sunday programme.

Run Balmoral, a well-established two-day community running festival, will be held for the 26th time in April 2025 and see close to 5,000 people of all ages take part in the series of races over two days.

Sandy Bonner, President of Bilfinger Engineering and Maintenance UK, said: “We are excited to be part of this great community event.  At Bilfinger, we believe in promoting health, wellness, and sustainability, and this event perfectly aligns with our values.

“The Bilfinger 6 Mile Trail Race is a new feature for 2025 and we look forward to celebrating the achievements of all participants who take on the course, which will be held in the spectacular surroundings of the Balmoral Estate with the famous Castle providing an excellent backdrop!”

All races are held on traffic-free roads and trails, offering amazing views of the Deeside countryside and the Cairngorm mountains. Competitors in each run will receive a special medal featuring a local landmark, with the 2025 medal showcasing the Auld Brig o’Dee.

In a move towards sustainability, rather than issuing t-shirts, a significant contribution will be made to a tree planting project in the River Dee Valley.

Run Balmoral Chair James Knowles said: "We are thrilled to have Bilfinger on board as sponsor of our new six mile trail race next April and we'll look forward to working closely with them to ensure the success of the event."

The 2025 event takes place over the weekend of 26-27 April. To find out more, or to enter the Bilfinger 6 Mile Trail Run, please visit: Run Balmoral
