Ultra Scotland 50

Ultra Scotland 50

Ultra Scotland 50 is a 56 mile trail race along the Southern Upland Way on Saturday 6 June 2026. The route crosses forests, valleys and mountains of southern Scotland and lists 2447 m of elevation. The event is limited to 400 places and has an overall cut-off of 20 hours. Entry fee is £119.

The race starts at St John’s Town of Dalry and finishes at Moffat Rugby Club. Live online GPS tracking is provided by GB Race Tracker and each entrant is issued a tracker as part of the mandatory kit. Mandatory kit must be carried at all times and is subject to random checks; required items include a hardcopy Southern Upland Way map, waterproof coat and trousers, compass, headtorch (min 75 lumens) with backup light, emergency rations (min 500 calories), whistle, warm hat and gloves, fully charged mobile phone and the event GPS tracker.

Entrants must be at least 20 years old and have completed an organised marathon-distance event prior to race day. The route includes staffed checkpoints with food, drinks and basic medical cover; some checkpoints are water-only and others are accessible by emergency teams only, so supporter access is restricted at several locations. A dropbag facility to the finish and optional return coach travel are available for entrants. Finishers receive tiered medals based on finishing position.
