The Dramathon, held each October in Speyside, Scotland (around Dufftown), is a unique trail-running festival offering four memorable race experiences: the Full Dram (~42 km marathon starting at Glenfarclas Distillery), the Half Dram (~21 km starting near Tamdhu), the Wee Dram (~10 km from Aberlour), and the We Dram relay (a 4‑person team covering marathon distance in four legs). All routes traverse the scenic Speyside Way, passing historic distilleries like Glenfarclas, Tamdhu, Aberlour, and finish with celebratory drams and themed medals—including whisky barrel stave medals and Glencairn tasting glasses—at Glenfiddich Distillery. Designed by whisky and running enthusiasts, the event blends rugged forest trails and rolling countryside with immersive whisky tastings, making it a scenic, social, and spirited celebration deeply rooted in Speyside’s whisky heritage.
