About the race
The Sidlaw Ultra is a winter trail ultra running event covering approximately 69 km along marked and marshalled trails from Glamis Castle to Scone Palace. The event includes chip timing, GPS tracking with issued trackers, live online results, and water at checkpoints. Drop bags are conveyed to checkpoints and a medic team is provided on site. Prizes are awarded to the first Male, Female and Non‑Binary finishers and all finishers receive a medal and a meal voucher to use at the on-site Oaklies food service; spot-prize tokens are also handed out by marshals.
Entries for the 2026 event are open and the entry fee is £125.00. The entry package includes online entry, insurance, chip timing, GPS tracking and a bus to the start. An optional early start is offered for runners who prefer it. The organisers describe the event as LGBTQIA+ friendly and allow runners to register as M, F or NB.
Compulsory kit items include a head torch (which can be left at a checkpoint), whistle, fully charged mobile phone, emergency blanket, emergency food and drink, the issued GPS tracker and emergency contact information on the race bib. Waterproofs, a map, first aid supplies and spare clothing are recommended because parts of the course cross exposed high tops and wet sections.
