That Highland air.
The quiet mist rolling off the loch.
The skirl of bagpipes as thousands of runners gather at the start line.
The camaraderie on the course and the thrill of that finish line by the river in Inverness...

There’s nothing quite like the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon & Festival of Running.

Already dreaming of 2026? We are too.
