THE ROUTE & TERRAIN
A good normal supportive running shoe is recommended.
The 10K shortcut is a solid forest track which joins/crosses the ski road at Loch Morlich.
The Half Marathon is mostly solid forest tracks and paths around Loch Morlich.
There are a couple of narrow bridges which require care.
Then it follows the Ski Road to Aviemore.
The Half crosses the ski road twice—once at Alltmor near the start and once near
the finish at Rothiemurchus Fish Farm.
The route uses the Old Spey Bridge, then the railway underpass to cross Aviemore
High Street to the Finish on the lawn in front of the Macdonald Aviemore Resort.
