Loch Morlich Running Festival is organised by Fitnessat58° in Glenmore Forest Park near Aviemore, within the Cairngorms National Park. Held at the beginning of January, the event offers two trail running distances in a spectacular Highland setting, welcoming runners, joggers and walkers of different abilities.
The courses begin at the Hayfield in Glenmore and follow forest trails through the surrounding pinewoods towards Loch Morlich. Runners enjoy views of the Cairngorm mountains and the loch before finishing beside its sandy beach. The 5.6K and 11.2K routes provide different challenges, with trail shoes recommended for the woodland paths and winter conditions.
Both races are chip timed, with a group warm up before the start and marshals supporting participants along the routes. Finishers receive a bespoke medal, with home baking and prizes adding to the friendly atmosphere. Younger runners can enter either distance, while dogs are welcome provided they remain on leads.
