We are hosting ‘A Scottish Sheepy Shuffle’ which we hope will be an event for everyone to enjoy. There are two distances, choose from the half marathon or 5K distance. This year the event will take place over two months from the beginning of July to the end of August. This virtual event is being organised by Andy Bailey, owner of The Mirkwood Rest Home for Retired Sheep, an animal sanctuary in Lincolnshire which cares for rescued and re-homed sheep.

Half Marathon; run or walk 13.1 miles on the route of your choice in one go. A combination of run/walking is also fine.
5K; run or walk 5K on the route of your choice in one go. A combination of run/walking is also fine.
The half marathon and/or 5K can be completed any time between 1st July and 31st August 2026.
Entry includes a race bib and a 7cm bespoke zinc alloy medal picturing a sheep in tartan which will be posted to you. The medal is the same for both events, but the tartan ribbon is different and reflects the distance covered. There is a dedicated Facebook race page: Sheepy Shuffle Facebook race page
Once you have completed your run/walk simply log back into the Total Race Timing website and manually put in your finishing time with a link to your Strava or Garmin if you wish.
Medals will be posted after you have completed your 13.1 miles or 5K and logged your time.
Please complete your half marathon or 5k in a responsible and safe way. Hi-viz is advisable if you will be on roads or crossing roads. Take liquid and snacks with you as necessary and choose the safest time of day to run based on weather conditions etc.
All entrants complete the virtual event at their own risk. Entries are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
