This race is particularly epic scenery-wise! Moray is famous for having some of the best coastline and seafood around. With its wide sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, coastal formations and attractive fishing villages, it makes for a stunning route for a race. Beginning at the RD’s home town of Forres, you soon reach the coastline at Findhorn, famed for its eco-community. From there, a forest overlooking the sea takes you past where the RD got married (this is how much he loves the area!) all the way to Lossiemouth and its epic clifftops, to Spey Bay where you can
search for dolphins, past picturesque former fishing villages, and then finishing in Cullen.
Interesting fact: Kyle & Debbie’s 2nd son was born the night before the inaugural Moray Coastal Trail 50, and Kyle had to leave the hospital only a couple of hours after the birth to go and mark the course..!
