About the race
The Speyside Way Ultras offer two ultramarathon options following the Speyside Way in mid August, with routes finishing on the Moray coast at Buckie. The event reintroduced a 100 km option in 2021 that adds an additional mountainous section from Aviemore to Tamdhu Distillery before joining the original route.
The two race options:
- 50 km route Tamdhu Distillery to Buckie via the Speyside Way.
- 100 km route Aviemore to Buckie, joining the 50 km at Tamdhu Distillery.
The 50 km course is described as largely runnable and net downhill with a climb at Ben Aigen and a coastal finish. The 100 km option includes an extra mountainous section from Aviemore to Tamdhu before following the 50 km route through whisky country to the coast.
Entry is limited by event: 50 places for the 100 km and 250 places for the 50 km. Entry fees listed are £80 for the 100 km and £60 for the 50 km. Cutoff times are 18 hours for the 100 km and 10 hours for the 50 km. Participants must be aged over 18. Full route details, GPX files, and an official race handbook are provided to competitors before the race.
Volunteers assist with marshalling, catering, and other duties; volunteers are offered provisions, a hi‑vis vest, and access to a finish event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
