But don’t just take our word for it - hear what our runners have to say! 🏃♂️✨
First-timers, seasoned pros, and international runners - everyone found a bit of magic on the course this year.
Swipe through to see why our runners are already buzzing for 2027. ➡️
"My third time doing the Inverness half and it just gets better and better. The atmosphere is electric, people are buzzing whether taking part, marshaling or watching and this year the sun shone brightly the whole run. Can`t wait for next year! Anyone reading this thinking i might give that a go, do it!"
"1st time running this event and I absolutely loved it. The marshals and volunteers out did themselves .. encouraging, motivational, extremely positive! Public support along the route was great ... thank you all for the jelly babies and high-5s - they all helped me to keep on plodding!
"It was my first half marathon and it was amazing! The information provided beforehand was perfect. The atmosphere during the race was great. I thought there would only be entertainment at the start and finish of the course, but there were volunteers cheering us on all along the way, as well as locals. I am French and my first half marathon experience in Scotland was perfect !!"
