Be inspired by beautiful Loch Morlich and the majestic splendour of the landscape surrounding the Cairngorm Mountains
Experience running through the ancient Caledonian Pines of Glenmore Forest
Challenge your personal best on this downhill route from Badaguish to Aviemore
The Start (at a height of approx 1100 ft above sea level) passes through the Glenmore Forest and Loch Morlich with the Cairngorm Mountains setting a spectacular backdrop. Conditions are a mixture of good solid forest track, paths and tarmac roads; a normal good supportive running shoe is all that is required. The first 7 miles are forest tracks through areas of Glenmore Forest Park and Glenmore village and after crossing the road, another forest track takes you around Loch Morlich and onto the main road which continues on past Coylumbridge and Inverdruie. The route crosses the road by the fish farm and over the Spey River by the pedestrian footbridge.
The last short section takes you under the main Highland railway line, across Aviemore main street and then past the front off the Four Seasons Hotel to a welcome Finish line!!! (approx 720 ft above sea level).
Starts at Glenmore, using the Aviemore Half Marathon route along the main road.
Finishes at the same point as the Half Marathon.
