🌟 Runner Spotlight: Emma Pfister 🌟
Meet Emma, one of the many incredible runners who lit up the streets of Inverness on 8th March! ✨
Fresh off the Inverness Half Marathon and with Baxters @lochnessmarathon already under her belt, this student runner isn’t slowing down. Her next big milestone? The Edinburgh Marathon in May!
She says: "With the Half Marathon coinciding with International Women’s Day, and March being Endometriosis Awareness Month, I’m determined to raise as much as possible for the 1 in 10 women living with this condition."
She’s already smashed her initial goal, but still wants to raise as much as possible before she hits the start line in Edinburgh!

👑 INVERNESS, YOU ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? No, it’s just another incredible display of fancy dress at the Inverness Half Marathon and 5K! 🏃♂️🎭
Leading the pack was `Freddie Mercury`, who clearly decided that `The Show Must Go On` for all 13.1 miles. We’re pretty sure he was Travelling at the Speed of Light by the time he hit the finish line... 🏎️💨
From superheroes to dinosaurs, you didn`t just run, you brought A Kind of Magic to the streets of Inverness today.
Scroll through to see some of the best capes, tutus, and moustaches of the day! ➡️
A massive well done to the Inverness Shinty Club team who took on the Inverness Half!
They ran in memory of their friend Ruairidh Mackay, raising vital funds for the club and @mikeysline_, a local charity which provides life-changing mental health and suicide prevention support across the Highlands.
Well done team!
