FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What age limit is there for each events?

We do have to observe minimum age limits for both events so they are:

  • Aviemore Half Marathon - entrants must be aged 17 years or over
  • 10K for All - entrants must be aged 16 years or over
 
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 - the person now wanting to compete should:
  • Click on the ‘Enter Online then post us your entry fee’ option in the Aviemore Half Marathon box above.
  • Complete the online entry system choosing to post us your entry fee whenever asked.
  • Then either you (the now non-competitor) or the replacement competitor, should telephone Dylis on 01479 861285 or email us and let Dylis know both your names so she can ‘tie it up’ on our database.
 
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. Cars 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.
 
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?
A 1-mile run (or jog, walk, or wander!) within the Aviemore Highland Resort, held at 2.30pm on 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. It's £2 to enter and all entries are taken on the day at registration within the Academy Hotel in the Resort. All finishers receive a Macdonald Mile medal.
