There is lots going on at the Event Village all weekend for participants and supporters.
Whether it’s some new gear to run in, some fuel to get you around, something to help you recover or some last minute running essentials, you’ll be spoilt for choice at the Expo.
Tune in to our guest speakers on Saturday or chill with some live Scottish music.
There will also be street food, pop-up bars, family fun activities, local bands and pipes & drums.

The Expo is a great opportunity to get your hands on running essentials and post-event rewards, with exclusive savings on shoes, clothing, electronics and more.
Imagine this:
One Sunday in September, you’re scrolling through your feed, seeing photo after photo of Loch Ness and the Scottish Highlands, people smiling from ear to ear and holding their medals, that incredible "I DID IT" thrill on their faces...don`t let that be someone else`s story.
This is your sign to stop thinking "maybe next year" and start thinking "THIS is MY year."
The clock is ticking and spots are disappearing FAST. Will you be on the start line?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but running along the banks of Loch Ness? That’s a feeling you can’t describe. 🏴
The Baxters Loch Ness Marathon is unlike any other marathon on Earth.
The mist rising off the water, the beauty of the Highlands, and the legendary atmosphere that pulls you toward the finish line in Inverness.
The question is: Will you be there?
