The Bennachie Ultra Marathon on 9 October 2027 is a 31 mile (50km race) on beautiful paths and trails in Aberdeenshire.

Bennachie (Beinn na Cìche) is the North East of Scotland's most prominent range of hills, dominating the landscape for miles.

The challenging 50K route takes in 6 of the peaks which make up the Bennachie Hills, including Mither Tap, Oxen Craig and Millstone Hill. There is over 5000ft of elevation and the terrain is mainly good runnable trails, with a short road section (3 miles). There is a 4 hour cut off, at approx. 18 miles.

As well as the full Ultra, there is also the Bennachie Ultra Trail distance held on the same day - this is an 18 mile route with over 3300ft of elevation gain, giving runners a taste of the full Ultra.

This is a cup-free event - bring your own cup/water bottle for refilling at water stations during the race.
