Aviemore Half Marathon

Aviemore, United Kingdom • 4-5 Oct 2025

Located near Aviemore in the Cairngorms, the Aviemore Half Marathon and 10k for All start and finish at Badaguish Outdoor Centre. The event offers two scenic, off-road routes through Glenmore Forest Park with views of Loch Morlich, Cairn Gorm and surrounding mountains. The half includes a very short stretch on a ski road and crosses it twice; both courses are designed with minimal elevation but feature sweeping descents. An on-site event village hosts food, drinks and vendors, with electronic timing by Perfect Timing and a finishers’ medal. Shuttle buses from Aviemore and limited parking are provided; the event is run by Badaguish for the Speyside Trust. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
