Ladies get ready to run the beautiful River Tay Way Ultra and experience the best Perthshire has to offer. Scotland’s newest “way” was completed and opened in 2025 and is a fully waymarked route going from Loch Tay to Perth.
At Wee Run Events we took a look at our stats and we used to be approx 50/50 split between Men and Women runners (pre pandemic) but now we’ve dropped to 31% women (Ochil Ultra) and as low as 21% (other events.) We also had a drop in our NB runners over 2025. So, we asked ourselves – what could we do to reach these runners? The answer; an ultramarathon that’s not for men so you get to enjoy a great race where you are the main focus.
