Information
The Baxters Loch Ness Marathon is quite possibly one of the most stunning marathons in the world. With spectacular scenery, a fantastic atmosphere and a truly memorable experience – it's no wonder it is on the bucket list for so many runners from around the world.
"Breathtakingly beautiful", "friendly atmosphere", "flawless organisation", "felt like a festival not just a race" are just a few of the comments we've had from our runners in the past. So why not come and experience it for yourself?
The Loch Ness Marathon follows a spectacular point-to-point route alongside the world-famous Loch Ness. The race starts in an atmospheric moorland setting and continues through stunning Highland scenery, taking you along the south-eastern shores of Loch Ness, across the River Ness, to finish in Inverness, capital city of the Highlands.
