Dava Way 50K

Grantown-on-Spey, United Kingdom • 8 Nov 2025

The Dava Way 50k is an off-road ultramarathon running from Grantown-on-Spey to Forres in Moray, Scotland, totaling 50km mostly along the old Highland Railway line. The route is predominantly flat, with a climb to the Dava Summit (about 1050 ft) before descending back to sea level, weaving through woodland, moorland, and farm tracks. Highlights include the Divie Viaduct, Huntly’s Cove, the Breathing Place at Dunphail, the Halfway Hut shelter with solar panels, and two wood sculptures. Marketed as a friendly transition from marathons to ultras, it offers a traffic-free runnable trail and a sense of Scotland’s hidden natural beauty.
