Overview
The Sidlaw Ultra is a 50mi trail race in the United Kingdom organised by Wee Run Events, taking runners point-to-point along a 69 route from Glamis Castle to Scone Palace.
With 79 finishers in 2024, the event drew a bigger field than 67% of 50mi races—and smaller than 32%—leaving runners with plenty of company across its hilltops while avoiding congested trail bottlenecks. Entry is £105 for the November race, which was first held in 2023 and has logged 2 editions heading into 2026.
