π Runner spotlight: Morag Alexander π
π
Morag is taking on an epic 10-event challenge in 2026, all to mark a very significant anniversary: her sonβs 10th `Transplantversary.`
To celebrate a decade since her sonβs life-changing stem cell transplant, Morag is running 10 events across areas covered by NHS Highland, NHS Grampian, and the Newcastle Health Trust.
The Inverness Half Marathon will officially be Event No. 3 on this powerful mission.
Every mile represents a year of health, hope, and gratitude for the medical teams who make these milestones possible.
Be sure to give her a huge cheer when you see her on the course! πππ

Treat yourself to a pre or post-event massage!
The team from Inverness Therapy Clinic will be in the Sports Hall in Inverness Leisure from 09.30-15.30 again this year providing valuable pre and post-event massage to our runners.
Massage is hugely beneficial after a half marathon and your legs will thank you for it!
They will be working on a first come, first serve basis.
Β£15 for 15 minutes - cash or cards accepted.
Make sure you stay well hydrated on event day!
Being well hydrated by drinking little and often is essential for achieving your best performance and enjoying your event.
We have 4 water stations on the half marathon course located at 3, 6, 9 and 11.5 miles. Water will also be available at the finish line. All four water stations on the course use paper cups.
See you all soon!
