The Moray Coastal Trail is a stunning ultramarathon event that takes runners along one of Scotland's most beautiful coastlines.
- 50-Mile Ultra: A full journey along the iconic Moray Coastal Trail.
- 50km Ultra: A shorter distance showcasing the area's most stunning highlights.
Both routes immerse you in the dramatic beauty and rich heritage of the Moray coastline, renowned for its wide sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, picturesque fishing villages, and some of the finest seafood in the world.
Moray is famous for having some of the best coastline and seafood around. With its wide sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, coastal formations and attractive fishing villages, it makes for a stunning route for a race. Due to the deviation of old Garmouth viaduct sadly collapsing the route will now start in Findhorn, famed for its eco-community. From there, a forest overlooking the sea takes you past where the RD got married (this is how much he loves the area!) all the way to Lossiemouth and its epic clifftops, to Spey Bay where you can search for dolphins, past picturesque former fishing villages, and then finishing in Cullen.
Interesting fact: Kyle & Debbie's 2nd son was born the night before the inaugural Moray Coastal Trail 50, and Kyle had to leave the hospital only a couple of hours after the birth to go and mark the course..!.

Race Route
For 2026, the 50 mile ultra begins at the coastline of the village of Findhorn, famed for its eco-community. From here the coastal trail properly begins across the forested back of the vast Burghead Bay. The section from Burghead to Lossiemouth has some superb clifftop walking with great seaviews. At Lossiemouth, the 23 mile trail race joins onto the Moray Coastal Trail and follows the same route as the ultra. Further on is Spey Bay, renowned for its dolphins, the ship-building heritage of Buckie and finally a string of picturesque former fishing villages leads on to Cullen finishing at the famous Cullen Viaduct!
