Baxters Loch Ness Marathon
The Baxters Loch Ness Marathon has it all - a spectacular rural setting, the renowned hospitality of the Highlands, and the mystery that is the legend of the Loch Ness Monster.
It's no wonder that readers of Runners World voted this race the 4th best UK marathon and 3rd most scenic running event.
Why not experienc it for yourself by running and raising money for CHILDREN 1ST?
10K and 5K
If a marathon is not for you, why not try the River Ness 10K or 5K Fun Run?
10K Corporate Challenge
If you prefer to run as a team, then gather up to five of your work mates and enter the 10K Corporate Challenge.
Wee Nessie
For the little ones, aged five and under, the Wee Nessie is a 400 metre (approx) run around Bught Park. Kids can run, jog or walk their way round.
No matter which event you choose to enter, the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon and Festival of Running will be an experience to remember.
