Loch Ness Marathon
The Baxters Loch Ness Marathon is quite possibly one of the most stunning marathons in the world. With spectacular scenery, fantastic atmosphere and a truly memorable experience – it’s no wonder it is on the bucket list for so many runners from around the world.
The race follows a spectacular point-to-point route alongside world famous Loch Ness, starting in an atmospheric moorland setting and continues through stunning Highland scenery, taking you along the south-eastern shores of Loch Ness, across the River Ness, to finish in Inverness, capital city of the Highlands.

Wee Nessie
Have you got any ‘little monsters’ in your family who would enjoy their own piece of the action?
If so, then why not sign them up for the popular Wee Nessie? Open to pre-school children aged 5 and under, the Wee Nessie follows a short (approx 800 metres), circular route in the enclosed Bught Park. It allows children to walk, jog or run at their own pace and provides the perfect introduction to the sport.
