Overview
Organised by Moray Way Ultras, the Moray Coastal Trail Race 50km took runners through Lossiemouth, United Kingdom, with an entry fee of £55. Holding a cut-off time of 10 hours across the 50km distance, the event gave participants an allowance that sat right in the middle of its peer group. The time limit proved more generous than 53% of 1046 comparable 50k events, while remaining tighter than 47% of them.
That 10-hour limit worked out to a required cutoff pace of 12 minutes per kilometre over the fixed trail race course. For competitors balancing sustained movement against the terrain, maintaining 12 minutes per kilometre offered a manageable buffer compared to stricter trail cut-offs, leaving space to navigate difficult stretches without immediately falling behind the clock.
