Eyemouth Twilight 5k & Fun Runs

Join us on Friday 28 August 2026 for one of the Scottish Borders' most popular community sporting events, the Eyemouth Twilight 5K & Mini Fun Runs.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the beautiful coastal town of Eyemouth, this much-loved annual event welcomes runners of all ages and abilities. Whether you're chasing a personal best, taking on your first 5K, supporting a young runner in the Fun Runs, or simply soaking up the fantastic atmosphere, there's something for everyone.

The officially Scottish Athletics certified 5K route features professional chip timing, giving every participant an accurate finish time from the moment they cross the start line. The flat, scenic course, enthusiastic spectators and electric Friday evening atmosphere make this a race you'll want to return to year after year.

Our younger runners can enjoy Mini Fun Runs, with age-appropriate distances designed to inspire children to get active while enjoying the excitement of race day in a safe and supportive environment.

Every participant will receive:

A commemorative goodie bag
A delicious ice cream, kindly provided by our headline sponsor, Giacopazzi's Gelato
A memorable evening packed with community spirit, entertainment and celebration

AMAZING PRIZES FOR THE 5K

The event also showcases the very best of Eyemouth, with local businesses, cafés, restaurants and attractions helping to create a vibrant festival atmosphere throughout the evening.
