Name: Founders Sports Day
Start: 2026-05-02T12:30:00+01:00
Location: Glenalmond College

A competitive multi-sport day for OGs, pupils, and parents
Join us at Glenalmond College for the inaugural Founders Sports Day, created to commemorate 4 May 1847-the day the College first opened its doors to pupils- in a fun, active way that brings the whole Glenalmond community together.
We hope this will become a much-loved annual tradition, honouring the College’s history, spirit, and strong sense of community.
