Formartine & Buchan Railway 12 and 6 Hour Ultra
This event offers two timed ultra formats along the Formartine & Buchan railway line between Maud railway station and Auchnagatt village hall on 8 May 2027. Competitors run as much distance as they can within the chosen time limit, either a 12 hour or a 6 hour race. The one way section between Maud and Auchnagatt is estimated at about 4.3 miles.
For the 12 hour race a minimum distance of 26.3 miles is required to qualify for a medal and goodie bag; extra distance may be needed to complete and confirm that minimum on a lap. Mini laps will be open toward the end of the race and only completed mini short laps are counted. Having previously completed a marathon is preferred but not required.
Age restrictions apply; participants must be 20 years or older under Scottish Athletics rules. Support crews are advised and may provide support at either end of the course. Prizes are awarded in main categories for the 12 hour race by male and female Senior, Veteran, Vet 50, and Vet 60 divisions, and first to third places for the 6 hour race. There is also a returning overall male and female champion trophy. Entry fees are listed by membership status and an optional event insurance product is offered.
