Loch Ness Marathon

Inverness, UK

Description

Take part in an unforgettable marathon experience, running beside the iconic Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The Baxters Loch Ness Marathon follows a spectacular route alongside world famous Loch Ness and is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful marathons in the world.

The point to point route starts in a spectacular moorland setting and takes you through stunning scenery alongside the loch and the River Ness, to finish in the Highland capital of Inverness.

Whether you're a runner or a spectator, there's plenty to keep you entertained over the weekend with an expo, runners' cafe, street food, live music, pipes & drums and family friendly activities. There's also the Baxters River Ness 10K and 5K, both races follow flat routes alongside the river in Inverness and are perfect for PB chasers and first timers alike. A 10K Corporate Challenge and a Wee Nessie kids' race completes the Festival of Running.
