The Dava Way 50K is a point to point trail ultramarathon linking Grantown-on-Spey with Forres through the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands and Moray. Designed as an accessible step into ultrarunning as well as a fast course for experienced runners, much of the route follows the former Highland Railway line.
Starting in Grantown-on-Spey, the course passes through Anagach Woods before joining the Dava Way for its journey north. Runners climb gradually towards the Dava Summit at 321m before beginning the long descent towards Forres, passing through a varied landscape of open moorland, woodland and farm tracks along the way.
The predominantly traffic free and runnable trails make this a distinctive 50K challenge, with landmarks including the Divie Viaduct, Halfway Hut and the remote moorland around Dava. The race finishes with a tour through Forres to complete the ultra distance, while its status as a UTMB Index Race gives finishers a recognised result in the relevant race category.
