THE ROUTE
The course is a truly ‘highland route’ but without the hills! The Start is at a height of approx 1100 feet and the Finish at approx 720 feet.
The route 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.
From the Start the first 7 miles are forest tracks through areas of Glenmore Forest Park and Glenmore village. After crossing the road, a 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 along the front of the Four Seasons Hotel to a welcome Finish line!!!
