Races to fill your marathon void
What? The Baxters Loch Ness Marathon
Why? Described as breathtakingly beautiful, the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon makes for one of the prettiest races in the UK. The picturesque, point-to-point route along the world-famous loch starts in moody moorland before taking you through the stunning Highlands, along the shores of Loch Ness and across the River Ness to finish in Inverness, the Highlands’ capital city. But it doesn’t just boast spectacular scenery. This marathon is also hailed for its festival-like atmosphere and flawless organisation. With other distances on offer – pan-flat 5 and 10Ks offer excellent PB potential – a free Sports Expo; Baxters Food & Drink Fayre; live music and kids’ activities, this marathon promises a lot more than just another race.
