A NEW 69KM ULTRA

THE EVENT

ABOUT THE EVENT

The third Sidlaw Ultra from the Wee Run Events team.

The route is approx. 69km from Glamis Castle to Scone Palace, covering stunning trails and beautiful hill top views.

We welcome ALL runners, from ALL backgrounds and ALL genders.

We are an LGBTQIA+ friendly event - in fact we're friendly FULL STOP!

You can run as M or F or NB and we welcome you to sign up and run as the gender of your choice.

We also offer an optional early start - if you are worried about having enough time - or you just don't enjoy mass starts.

The Sidlaw Ultra is the first in our Castle Series - watch this space for our second Castle Series Event debuting in 2027

FOOD AT THE FINISH!

In 2023 we had Chilli Con Carne (GF) or Vegetarian Chilli Con Carne (V, GF) accompanied with; Steamed White Rice, Mini Nan Breads, Tangy Salsa / Sour Cream, Grated Cheddar Cheese

In 2024 we had amazing loaded baked spuds from Oaklies (and it went down VERY WELL!) A great tonic for your tummy after all those hills!

In 2025 we had scrummy burgers and chips from Oaklies and there were extremely happy bellies!

For 2026 we've asked Oaklies Food Truck to come back to provide your hot meal - we hope to continue partnering with them for this winter event as their food really hits the spot!

The Bus to the start is included in your entry fee. The bus will pick runners up from Scone Palace at 6.30am and transport you to Glamis Castle for registration (7am) and the start at 8am. Early start is at 7.30am. Spectators are welcome to park at Glamis Castle to see you off - but please note Glamis is a residential castle so we ask you to keep the noise to a minimum (especially so early in the morning!)

T-shirts are not included in our entry price as we are aware that many people have wardrobes overflowing with t-shirts that they don't want, don't like and will end up in a landfill - BUT we do offer T-shirts at an additional cost which you can purchase after entry. We will email you with details once the 2026 design has been finalised.

Spectators can purchase hot food at an additional cost at the finish at Scone Palace. There are a few great spectator spots or they can hang out in the cafe at Scone Palace watching your 'dot' as you complete this epic wintery ultra! Cafe closes at 3pm.
