Kellie's Castle 7KM Heritage Run Perak 2026

Kellie's Castle 7KM Heritage Run invites runners to explore the landscape surrounding one of Perak's most recognisable historic landmarks on Saturday 12 December 2026. Beginning at Kellie's Castle near Batu Gajah, the event pairs a 7 km running route with the atmosphere of the unfinished colonial-era mansion and its surrounding countryside.

The organiser's official course map shows a roughly 7 km loop with a mixture of paved roads and unpaved dirt trails. This is not an exclusively sealed-road run: wear footwear suitable for uneven ground, watch your footing and allow extra time for the less predictable sections. Participants should follow the final marshalled course rather than treating the promotional map as a turn-by-turn guide.

Important participation rules

• Children and strollers are not permitted. The organiser explicitly states that the mixed-surface route is unsuitable for children or strollers and that registration is not open to children.
• Participants must be fit enough to complete the route and run at their own risk.
• Race-kit collection is on 11 December 2026. The organiser says that there will be no race-kit collection on race day. Check the organiser's final instructions for the precise collection location and hours.
• Once a shirt size has been submitted, the organiser says it cannot be changed.

Entry includes an event running jersey, light refreshments, an electronic certificate and a ticket for Kellie's Castle. The organiser's flyer specifies a finisher medal for the Open category only. The organiser lists 8 November 2026 as the registration closing date or earlier if places fill. Allow time to travel to this rural heritage attraction and check the latest race-day access, parking and collection instructions before setting off.
