John Muir Way Ultra Marathon
The John Muir Way Ultra Marathon is a 50 km trail race that follows the John Muir Way through East Lothian. The route runs along coastal stretches, rural landscape and woodland trails and passes through towns and villages including Aberlady, Gullane and North Berwick. The race begins at Port Seton Promenade and finishes at Foxlake Adventures, Dunbar.
Race registration and parking are based at Foxlake Adventures, where cars may be left for the duration of the event. Transport from the registration area to the race start at Port Seton is provided as part of the entry fee. The organiser publishes a mapped route and a race brief for competitors.
The event uses checkpoint cut offs at named locations on the course, including RNLI North Berwick, Balgone and Smeaton. The organiser also maintains published policies for cancellation, postponement and participant withdrawal that include options for transferring entries and partial refunds in defined time windows.
Volunteers support registration, checkpoints, water stations, start and finish areas, course set up and take down. Volunteer marshals receive a race memento and a donation to their club or charitable group. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
