The Aviemore Santa Run brings festive running to Glenmore Lodge in the heart of the Cairngorms, with forest trails and mountain scenery providing a memorable setting. The event welcomes runners, walkers and families for a Christmas outing supporting Disability Snowsport UK and local charities.
The 5K follows woodland trails around Glenmore, with a short road section along the way. A separate Merry Mile gives children and families a shorter option, while wheelchair and pushchair accessible routes help make the event welcoming to a wide range of participants. Dogs are also welcome, making it an opportunity for the whole family to get involved.
Finishers receive an eco friendly wooden medal, with Santa suits available through full entry tickets or the option to wear your own festive outfit. Live music, hot drinks, mince pies and a Christmas market add to the celebrations, creating a lively atmosphere around Glenmore Lodge throughout the day.
