Fife Pilgrim Way Ultra Marathon
The Fife Pilgrim Way Ultra Marathon is a 90K UTMB Index 100K event that follows the historic pilgrim route from North Queensferry to St Andrews Cathedral. The course passes through towns such as Dunfermline, Lochore, Markinch and Ceres and includes about 1,200 m of elevation gain. The event has a maximum field of 150 runners and a standard entry fee of £135; there is an optional £5 charity donation per runner.
Entry is open to runners aged 20 and over who have completed at least a marathon (42K) in the last 24 months or an ultra of 50K or more in the last 36 months. The race is solo only, though a support runner may accompany an entrant from Ceres to the finish. Poles are permitted.
Race support includes GPS tracking, a waymarked route provided in GPX and other formats, fully stocked aid stations with hot food at selected checkpoints, drop bag checkpoints, first aid cover, photographers, a finisher medal and t-shirt, and a shuttle service from the finish back to the start. An overall time limit of 15 hours applies, with intermediate checkpoint cutoffs at Markinch (32 miles) and Ceres (45 miles). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
