The Dramathon

The Dramathon is a trail running event on the Speyside Way in Scotland on 17 October 2026. The route runs between Glenfarclas and Glenfiddich distilleries and passes several Speyside distilleries and sections of the Spey Valley.

The course mainly follows well maintained paths and former railway alignment with some forest tracks, short sections on minor roads (about 5 km on the full course) and hilly terrain. The full marathon route has one notable ascent in each of its four sections and a gradual uphill final stretch from Craigellachie to Dufftown. Route changes may be made by the organiser.

Whisky is not provided along the route or at feed stations. Single use plastic cups are no longer supplied at feed stations; participants are expected to carry a portable cup.
