| |
| 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. |
