← Nairn Half Marathon

The Nairn Half Marathon is part of the annual Highland Games. It's great value at just £13 to enter, a great race through lovely Scottish countryside and a unique start/finish running round the Highland Games arena.

The 2018 run had a killer headwind for the final 6 miles but that toughness made finishing feel much more of an achievement.

Pros:

  • Unique start and finish in highland games arena.
  • Cheap!! (£13 plus can register on day for £15)
  • Great small event friendly feel to run.
  • Run through stunning Scottish scenery.
  • Receive medal and small but adequate goodie bag.

Cons:

  • Run open roads - but these are relatively quiet.
  • Final 1 mile section lots of pedestrians to dodge.
  • Not chip timed.
