Loch Ness Marathon

Take on a marathon beside one of the most famous lochs in the world, and help the fire services community while you do it.

On Sunday 26 September 2027, thousands of runners will line up on open Highland moorland on the south side of Loch Ness. The route is point to point, dropping down to the shore and following the loch through Foyers and Dores before finishing at Bught Park in Inverness. It’s regularly named one of the most beautiful marathons in the world, and as you run beside the loch for mile after mile, you’ll see why.

One of the world’s most stunning marathons

Every mile you run helps someone who has served their community get back on their feet.

Our support covers physical health, mental health, personal wellbeing and practical help. It’s there for serving and retired fire service staff and their families, whenever they need it. Your fundraising helps us keep that support going for the people who run towards danger so the rest of us don’t have to.
