About the race
The Moray Marathon is a road race based in Elgin that follows sections of the Moray coastline. It is organised by Chilled Running and includes a full marathon and a separate 20 mile race that joins the marathon course mid-route. The first edition was held in April 2024 and a 20 mile race was added from 2025.
The course is measured, described as flat and fast, and is approved by Scottish Athletics for use as a qualifying course. Race features include chip timing, sponsored prizes for overall and age-category placings (V40, V50, V60, V70), a family-friendly finish area, and free race photography available after the event. Runners start and finish at Morriston Running Track in Elgin. Registration and bib collection take place at the nearby Morriston Playing Field.
Ample nearby parking is available, including at Elgin Academy and Lossiegreen Car Park. Toilets and changing facilities are provided close to the start, and drop-bag storage is available at the leisure centre. The event is held on roads that remain open to traffic; marshals, cycle marshals and safety vehicles operate on the route. There are six manned drink stations and two unmanned water points (about every three miles).
Gels are not provided and the use of conventional headphones is not permitted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
