The Moray Marathon & The Chilled 20
The event takes place on 5 April 2026 with registration and the main venue at Morriston Track, Morriston Playing Fields, Haugh Road, Elgin IV30 1AW. It comprises two road races on the same day:
- Marathon
- Chilled 20 Mile
Both races are Scottish Athletics approved. The marathon is a qualifying course and both events are run on public roads rather than closed roads. The Chilled 20 starts at mile 6.2 of the marathon route in Roseisle and joins the marathon course later. Competitors for the Chilled 20 must travel to the race start via the organised bus service from Moray Leisure Centre Car Park; runners not checked in on the bus will not be permitted to start.
Race conditions set by the permit include minimum age 18, the course being unsuitable for wheelchairs, no buggies or pets, and a requirement to use bone conducting headphones only. There are no entries on the day. Cut off times are seven hours for the marathon and five hours for the Chilled 20. Marathon entrants who expect to finish in more than 5.5 hours may be placed in an earlier wave to receive additional support.
The Chilled 20 uses chip timing and awards medals to every finisher. The marathon lists course records with a cash prize for beating them and offers trophies and age category awards. Basic refreshments are provided at the finish and there are changing facilities and toilets at the start and finish. Vendors and spectator facilities are present at the finish area.
