Not many races start with running through historic golden gates.

Dunoon Presents Dunoon Ultra Marathon hits different. 👌

22/08/2026

We are proud to be hosting the starting line for today’s Dunoon Presents Dunoon Ultra Marathon.

A mighty 55.22km route with 1,200m of elevation, a serious challenge through some spectacular scenery. 🏔️

This year is extra special as Dunoon Presents celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the race 🎈

A special mention must go to all the volunteers who give up their time and work tirelessly to make this event happen, year after year. 👏

Good luck to all the runners and relay teams. Enjoy the challenge, the camaraderie and those incredible views. 💪 ⛰️
