@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.

For these PE teachers from Turriff Academy, the Inverness Half Marathon is more than a running event - itโ€™s 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.

๐Ÿ‘ Leave them your good luck wishes and be sure to cheer them on!
