Speyside Way Ultras
The Speyside Way Ultras take place on 15 August 2026 and offer two distance options over trail and mixed terrain. The race has run since 1994 and attracts distance runners from a range of backgrounds.
The event offers a 50 km route that follows the Speyside Way from Tamdhu Distillery to the town centre in Buckie. The 50 km course includes sections through whisky country, a climb up Ben Aigen, road and forestry trails, a coastal path finish, and a short final climb before the finish line.
