The Dramathon 2026

The Dramathon, a whisky-themed race series, takes place in Speyside every October, offering a marathon, half marathon, 10k, and relay. The full marathon follows the Speyside Way, starting at Glenfarclas distillery and finishing at Glenfiddich distillery, linking the start and finish to two well-known single malt names. The race distances are themed: the marathon is the Full Dram, the half marathon is the Half Dram, and the 10k is the Wee Dram. The course passes distilleries such as Cragganmore, Cardhu, and Balvenie. Runners receive whisky miniatures at the finish line, with the quantity dependent on the distance completed. Over 1,500 runners typically participate, with entrants from more than 25 countries. The event is also known as The Speyside Single Malt Marathon, accurately describing it as a combination of trail or road running and a tour of one of Scotland's premier whisky regions.
