Press Release & Photos

The third Aviemore Half Marathon was our 'stormy one!.

 

Nearly 900 runners took the field, slightly down on the anticipated number again but still increasing each year.

Tommy Lawrence was our overall winner this year, Simon Pride was 2nd and Raymond Hardie finishing in 3rd place

The event which is a fundraiser for the Badaguish Outdoor Centre is used to support the continued work of the Speyside Trust Charity.
