ROAD & ULTRA RUNNING BEST PERFORMANCES

No official Scottish records are maintained for road and ultra running, with the exception of the marathon distance. The following unofficial list is considered to be the best authentic performance list for road and ultra events, meeting generally recognised performance criteria.

Notes: For performances to be included in this list, they should meet the rules for road running records set out in World Athletes/UK Athletics Rules. Performances with a drop of over 1m/km have not been recognised; intermediate times within a race have not been recognised below marathon distance.
