Overview
Starting in North Queensferry, the Fife Pilgrim Way Ultra Marathon takes runners along 90 kilometers of countryside, woodland, and farmland trails to finish at St Andrews Cathedral. The route accumulates 1200 meters of ascent, which averages out to a runnable 13.3 meters of climb per kilometer.
The 15-hour limit requires an overall pace of at least 10 minutes per kilometer across the full journey. That cut-off is tighter than 72% of 50mi races and more generous than 28%, demanding steady forward progress from the outset without prolonged stops at check points.
Organised by Blast Running, the event drew 111 finishers in 2026. That gives it a starting field bigger than 76% of 50mi events and smaller than 24%, placing it well above the median size for the distance category.
