Sunday 30 September 2012

Choose from the River Ness 5k and 10k races or the Loch Ness Marathon.

Each race will see you run through stunning highland scenery and make an athlete’s finish at Bught Park in the centre of Inverness.

We are delighted to announce that once again Macmillan Cancer Support is one of Baxters Loch Ness Marathon and Festival of Running official charities.

Marathon

Imagine running through the stunning Highland scenery, along the shores of Loch Ness, across the River Ness and finally crossing the finish line in the beautiful Bught Park. The sense of achievement as you cross the finish line will be immense.

The race is a real celebration of running, with a pre-race pasta party and festival at the finish. You can enjoy live music with traditional pipes and drums playing, there will also be kid's activities and entertainment.

The stable weather in Inverness at this time of year means the race is popular for personal bests. Check out the amazing course you could be running along, on the Loch Ness website.
