The Nairn Beach 10 Miler is a charity running event organised by Nairn Road Runners, starting and finishing on the beach near Nairn Harbour. Set along the Moray Firth coastline, the race combines a distinctive coastal route with fundraising for Team Hamish and Nairn Beach Wheelchairs.
Runners follow an approximately 10 mile out and back course, heading five miles along the sand towards the Bothy before returning to Nairn. The race takes place at low tide to provide plenty of beach for running, with occasional stream crossings and a water station around halfway. The open coastline offers scenic views throughout the route.
All money raised supports Team Hamish and Nairn Beach Wheelchairs, two local charities working to improve community facilities and beach accessibility. With its sandy terrain and coastal setting, the event offers a different challenge from traditional road and trail races while supporting worthwhile local causes.
