The 1st Speyside Way race first took place on 3rd April 1994 and throughout it's history, running legends have competed in this event. This event is stacked in history - from the late Don Ritchie himself (former 100km world record holder, who later took on the job as race director) and world 100km champion Simon Pride, to Commonwealth Games runner Fraser Clyne and even 1500m specialist Brian Scally. The 50km route is a great transition from road running to trail running, and great for a fast time. It is runnable, net downhill (let's not mention the climb at Ben Aigen to keep you honest!) and has a beautiful finish on a coastal path and a wee sting in the tail before the finish line.
In 2021, we added a 100km option, where runners do an extra epic mountainous section (again, you are going downhill) from Aviemore to Tamdhu Distillery, where you join the 50km route all the way through whisky country to finish at the coast in Buckie.
