Our first year as an official charity partner with Loch Ness Marathon! Massive congratulations to our four runners Leigha, Tristram, Anthony & Kelly. We're just loving that our little local charity drew in runners from as far afield as London and New York! Huge thanks to our new friends at Ness Walk who very generously provided a welcome and VIP car parking to our runners. Over £2,000 raised to help youngsters change their lives through the power of outdoor adventure. Roll on 2027 when we will have places to offer at the Half Marathon, Etape and next year's marathon!
