Runner Feedback

“ Inverness you never fail to put on a well organised, wonderful event. Yet again all the helpers and marshals were amazing. Thank you. ”

It takes an incredible army of volunteers to power a half marathon!

As we head towards the Inverness Half Marathon, we want to say a massive THANK YOU to every single person who gives up their time to marshal the course, hand out water, and cheer you on. Our volunteers truly are the backbone of our events.

Special shout-out to @rokzkoolacademy, a brilliant local Highland charity who provide a dedicated group of volunteers for all our events.

From workshops and holiday clubs to community projects, they help families and young people come together, be creative, and learn new skills.

Whether helping you find your rhythm on the drums or your pace on the course, their energy is infectious. We are so proud to partner with them.

Please give ALL our volunteers a huge cheer when you see them out on the route! 📣
