Jedburgh holds its annual ball on the evening of Festival Friday followed by Games Day on the Saturday at Riverside Park, the home of Jedforest Rugby Football Club. Leaving the ball just before 6 a.m., the market place fills with onlookers and those still sober enough to stand having danced the night away at the Callants Ball. The highlight of the morning (other than bacon rolls and more drink) is the race round the town.

2004 Jethart Callant Clark Scott wins his race round the town. Jamie McCraw and Niki Hill (hidden) are hot on his heels followed by Herald John Mabon.

Kilts and 'trainers' are the order of the day as the more serious runners take to their heels round the town.  This years race round the town on Jedburgh Games Day was a hotly contested affair with the race leaders neck and neck for most of the final stretch.  A bad tumble virtually on the zebra crossing decided the outcome of the race.
