Let`s give a BIG CHEER to all our young athletes at the Inverness 5K on Sunday!
Every year, we offer discounted entry fees to groups from local schools, youth clubs.
This year we`re over-the-moon that 36% of all 5K runners are from primary schools and sports clubs, including football, athletics triathlon and rugby, across the Highlands.
Good luck again to everyone taking part in the 5K - We hope you all have the best day!

@high5sportsnutrition, sports nutrition partner for the Inverness Half Marathon, want to wish you good luck in your final preparations for the big day!
To help you make it to the finish line, HIGH5 will be providing a HIGH5 Energy Gel Aqua at the halfway point.
This is an extremely light consistency gel made from refreshing natural fruit juices and water, that delivers carbohydrates straight to your muscles as you run.
Our final event day tip?
Enjoy yourselfโฆ and donโt forget to keep us in the loop by tagging HIGH5 in your #RaceDaySetUp

๐ธ STRIKE A POSE: The Cameras are Waiting!
Think youโve got your `Blue Steel` perfected?
Or maybe youโre more of a `double thumbs up` kind of runner?
Whatever your signature move is, get it ready - our photographers will be stationed along the course to capture your best (and most `expressive`) moments!
Whether you`re throwing your arms up in pure triumph or just trying to look like you aren`t questioning your life choices at mile 10, give us something to work with.
The better the pose, the better your chances of making it onto our feed! ๐คณโจ
Not to mention the fact you get hard evidence to brag to your friends, family, and coworkers. ๐

๐๐ฝ๐ Runners Spotlight: Alyx, Rachel, Alan, Kirstie & Fraser ๐๐ฝ๐
For these PE teachers from Turriff Academy, the Inverness Half Marathon is more than a running event - itโs a way to honour a pupil they tragically lost unexpectedly to sepsis in early 2025.
Now, this incredible PE team is running together to raise awareness and funds for the@uksepsistrust.
Their steps are a tribute, their miles a message: you are not forgotten.
๐ Leave them your good luck wishes and be sure to cheer them on!
