The Route

The route is arguably the most appealing of any UK marathon. The 26.2 mile course takes in the beautiful Highland scenery along the shores of Loch Ness before crossing the River Ness towards the finish line at the Queens Park Athletics Stadium in Inverness.

The Marathon starts just North of Fort Augustus and then follows the B852 down to the edge of the loch at Foyers. You will then follow Loch Ness’s South-Eastern shore, making your way North-Eastwards towards Dores at the Northern edge of the loch.

After Dores, you’ll head into the centre of Inverness, traversing left over the main bridge in the centre of town. You’ll then turn left following the River Ness for the last half mile to the finish line inside the stadium which will be packed full of cheering supporters!
