Rat Race 100 Glamis

Rat Race 100 Glamis

The Rat Race 100 Glamis is a 100 mile (160 km) ultramarathon taking place 28–30 August 2027. The route starts at Glamis Castle and finishes at Stirling Castle as part of a three event trilogy in which each edition picks up where the previous one finished. Participants have a 48 hour completion window.

The event has no qualifying times and is set around a walker friendly 2.5 mph moving pace. The course is fully waymarked with bright orange arrows and supported by event staff. Rat Race provides bag transport for up to five bags per participant, with standard pit stop bags limited to 5 kg and 15 L, and a finish bag allowance of up to 15 kg and 70 L. Sleep station bags at selected pit stops have an increased allowance of up to 25 L and 10 kg.

Pit Stops offer water, juice, sweet and salty snacks, fruit, toilets and on-site medical cover. Enhanced Pit Stops add hot or more substantial food options. Event pit stops do not supply sports nutrition products; participants are expected to carry their own gels and supplements. Vegetarian and vegan options are available and a separate box of gluten free or dairy free snacks is kept for those with intolerances, though cross contamination cannot be guaranteed.

Medical provision is delivered by a professional event medic team with paramedics, doctors and ambulance support. The event is independently audited for safety and risk management. There are cut-offs after Pit Stop 6 to protect participant welfare, and organisers may enforce earlier cut-offs in exceptional circumstances. Registration and tracker collection are based in Dundee city centre. Participants must be 18 or over on the day of registration. Completing all three Rat Race 100 events earns a Trilogy Finisher buckle. The event follows a non-competitive ethos and results are displayed alphabetically rather than by finishing order.
