Skye Half Marathon
The Skye event in June 2027 includes a chip timed half marathon and a 10K held on closed roads around Portree on the Isle of Skye. The half marathon is a 13.1 mile loop that starts and finishes in Portree and follows a single-track scenic route through the island countryside, often running alongside the River Snizort. The course begins with a gradual climb from Portree, includes a downhill section, and returns to a shared finish area in Portree.
Distances

Age group prizes are awarded and a non-binary registration category is available; non-binary first place prizes are awarded, though non-binary results are not included in overall rankings.
