Dava Way 50K

The Dava Way 50k is acclaimed as one of the top ultra races in the UK, ideal for both marathon runners transitioning to ultras and seasoned ultrarunners seeking a swift 50km challenge. This scenic trail connects the historic towns of Grantown-on-Spey and Forres, featuring a route that largely follows the old Highland Railway line, offering a manageable yet off-road experience. Runners will tackle the Dava Summit, reaching an elevation of 321 meters, before descending towards sea level. The course showcases a rich variety of landscapes, including woodlands, moorlands, and farm tracks, along with notable highlights such as the iconic Divie viaduct, Huntly's Cove gorge, the inviting Breathing Place at Dunphail, and the restored Halfway Hut, providing perfect spots for rest and appreciation of nature.
