Baxter’s Loch Ness Marathon 2027
Since its launch in 2002, the Baxter’s Loch Ness Marathon has quickly become one of Britain’s favourite running events. Consistently voted by Runners World as one of the UK’s top three running events, over 8,000 participants take part each year. It is now Britain’s fifth largest marathon!
Run 4 Cancer is one of the Loch Ness Marathon official charity partners. If you could consider running in support of Run 4 Cancer we would be very grateful.

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!

Run 4 Cancer - About Us
Set up by a team of running enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer, Run 4 Cancer is primarily a provider of days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer. We give families something to look forward to during the most difficult of times. We also make grants to UK based care institutions and support research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. running) and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery.
