Scottish Ultra Marathons Series

Company Description

The Scottish Ultra Marathon Series (SUMS) comprises independently organised Scottish ultra marathons to form a season-long championship and was run for the first time in 2010 with 9 races in the series. 2013 saw the extension of the series to include 15 races and for the 2015 series the number of races is now up to 18.Benefitting from the rise in ultra running popularity over the last few years, we were very happy to see many even more first timers take part and have over 1300 different finishers complete at least one of our races in 2014 (many completing numerous ultras) plus hundreds more volunteers and supports getting involved. We are fast becoming one of the biggest sporting series in the UK with 2015 set to see even more races and increased entrants. While we strive for all our participants to reach new levels of athletic performance, our core aim is to ensure ultra running is Scotland is accessible, sustainable and provides a family community for all runners regardless of ability or background.
