Bennachie Ultra Marathon

The Bennachie Ultra Marathon is an exciting running event set in the stunning Aberdeenshire countryside of North East Scotland. Scheduled for October 11, 2025, this inaugural race features a challenging 50k route that includes six peaks of the Bennachie Hills, such as Mither Tap and Oxen Craig, with an elevation gain of over 5000 feet. Participants must be at least 18 years old and are required to carry specific safety gear throughout the race.

The event promotes sustainability by being cupless, encouraging runners to bring their own hydration containers. It is organized by CGM Ultra Racing and supports local charities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
