Aviemore Half Marathon Route - Sat 8th

The start is at Badaguish, which is approximately 1100 ft above sea level within the Cairngorm National Park and provides a spectacular backdrop. The route begins on forest tracks which descend to Glenmore as views of Loch Morlich, Cairn Gorm and the Northern corries unfold, before a short spell down the logging trail will take competitors to cross the River Luineag.

From there, the route follows shoreside trails and nips for a very short section up the ski road to lead onto a stunning ascent and descent of forest paths above the loch, and then crosses back over the main road to take the long way round the forest tracks before arriving back at Badaguish.

Conditions are a mixture of mostly good solid forest tracks and paths – a normal good supportive running shoe is required. 

10K Route - Sunday 9th

Starts at Badaguish and follows the same stunning descent as the half marathon down to the shores of Loch Morlich. The route then turns right down the length of the northern shore of the loch, before turning back up to loop around Badaguish on beautiful forest tracks, finishing back where it started. 

Conditions are a mixture of mostly good solid forest tracks and paths – a normal good supportive running shoe is required.
