All proceeds from this event will go to the Speyside Trust, a small; independent registered Scottish Charity, raising funds to enable people with disabilities to enjoy an outdoor activity holiday. We provide full 24hr respite care for individuals, giving them an independent holiday with activities to suit their ability including, canoeing, cycling, rock scrambling, archery, swimming, trampolining and much more plus day visits to places of interest. Every £200 raised enables a person with disabilities to enjoy a unique outdoor holiday experience. The Charity relies totally on the generosity of those who believe in what we are seeking to do by encouraging us, working with us and giving us financial support. If you would like further information on what the charity does please visit www.badaguish.org
We ask that you pledge to raise £50 for Speyside Trust and we have teamed up with Justgiving our online fundraising partners to create a secure online donations facility for all competitors. It’s the fastest, easiest, and cleverest way to raise money!
| Can
people enter the Half-Marathon race on race day? |
| No.
All entries must be pre-entered. |
| |
| If
someone cannot take part in the Half Marathon for any reason,
can they transfer their entry to someone else? |
| Yes however this
must be done by contacting the organiser before October 6th
and supplying details of the replacement person as per the
entry form. |
| |
| How
accurate is the Half-Marathon distance? |
| Because the majority
of the route is not on tarmac roads (but on excellent
forest tracks!), it cannot be classified as ‘an accurately
measured course’. However, the route has been measured
and checked as 13.1 miles by an official Scottish Athletics
course measuring official. |
| |
| Do
I need all-terrain, off-road or studded running shoes for
this Half Marathon route? |
| No - a normal, well-cushioned
running shoe will be more than adequate for our course |
| |
| Can
I get dropped off at the Half-Marathon Start by car? |
| No - all competitors
must catch the free shuttle bus from Aviemore Highland
Resort. Ccars will
not be allowed access to the Badaguish Centre Start on Sunday
morning. |
| |
| Can
a 'non-race entered person' run alongside a relative or friend
who has entered the event? |
| Absolutely
not. On Health and Safety grounds (as covered by the event
risk assessment) this would have the potential to cause serious
confusion and safety issues for event marshalls, organisers
and safety teams and cannot be permitted under any circumstances so please do not contemplate this at all. |
| |
| Where
can I get more information about the Half-Marathon, the Macdonald
Mile Fun Run and the Speyside Trust Badaguish Centre? |
| From
the event programme sent to all competitors, from this website and our main website. |
| |
| What
is the Macdonald Mile Fun Run? |
| It is a 1-mile run (or jog, walk, bimble or wander!) within the Aviemore
Highland Resort, held at 2.30pm on the Saturday, the day before the Aviemore Half Marathon. It attracts adults, children,
families, wheelchair users, in fact everyone to do a ‘wee
mile’ around the Highland Resort area. The entry fee
is £2 for all and all entries will be taken on the day
at registration within the Academy Hotel in the Resort. All
finishers receive a Macdonald Mile medal. |
