25th - 27th May 2024
Update: 17th May 2024
The final version of the Route Description and GPX file is now available for download on the Route Description page. By request an alternative version of the GPX file has been added with the same track points but with waypoints only at checkpoints which may be better for some GPS devices.There is also a link to the route superimposed on OS standard mapping.
We look forward welcoming walkers to the Main Event in a week's time and hope for good weather - do prepare for all possibilities in an area where there can be four seasons in a day. Your friends and supporters will be able to follow walkers' progress on the event on the TrackTrail site https://track.trail.live/event/speyside-100
The Marshals' Walk took place over the weekend of 4th-6th May with eleven of the organisers and helpers checking out the route and other arrangements to inform the main event. The provisional results for the Marshals' Walk may be found here.
Tee-shirt, hoodies, fleeces, etc. bearing the event logo may now be ordered, see the Merchandising Page.

We are pleased that the route for the 2024 Speyside 100 has been finalised after an enormous amount of hard work on route planning and negotiation with authorities and landowners to overcome difficulties beyond our control. Particular thanks for this are due to John, Roger and Julie. Although rather different from the original route envisaged, this is a fine and varied journey around the Speyside area of Scotland with 14 checkpoints and around 8,800ft of ascent mainly in the first half of the walk.
