The club began in 2007, in response to a demand from local people who were looking to train for the Aviemore Highland Half Marathon. Since then, the club has been going from strength to strength. We are a friendly club that welcomes runners of all abilities - from absolute beginners to elite runners.
Club runs are held on Monday and Wednesday evenings, 6:30pm. The season starts in Spring and continues until it gets too dark!. There are also a number of casual runs, events and training sessions throughout the year.
Billed as "A Wild Half Marathon Trail Run to the base of Scotland's most iconic mountain, the mighty Suilven," it was a race I couldn't miss out on. Assynt is one of my favourite places in the country and the opportunity to participate in an inaugural race there was too good to pass up.
Back in August 2021, Calum Maclean and Jenny Graham took on the longest straight-line hike not crossing a road in the UK, in 2025 Cairngorm Runners Jonathan and Sam Bellarby gave a different route a try!
The beer lovers marathon, in Liege, Belgium, is a little bit different. Run a full marathon (42k, 434m climb), 18 stops - 1st one is breakfast with croissants, the next 17 are all different Belgian beers (as well as food and water), each stop has live music, it is themed fancy dress - 2025 theme was Belgian comics - and there are rolling cut-offs with finish by 6 1/2 hours.
Monday Runs - There are 4 sessions every Monday at 1830: beginners, intermediates 1, intermediates 2 and adventure. The exact plan is posted a few days for current members on our Spond page. Monday runs are social runs and last about an hour.
New runners and guests are always welcome to join us. To find out this weeks meeting point please drop a message in our public Facebook group and one of our Jog Leaders or Committee members will get back to you.
Wednesday Training - Wednesday Speed sessions are open to all and tailored to be challenging for all abilities. Our starting point can vary so new runners and guests should post in the Facebook group and one of our Jog Leaders or Committee members will get back to you with the details. Members can see the full calendar in the Spond app.
Other Casual Runs - Check out our Facebook group. There is always someone looking for a running buddy.
They are not official club runs and normally end in coffee and cake!
