The Loch Morlich Running Festival

The Loch Morlich Running Festival, organized by Fitnessat58°, is an annual event held in Glenmore Forest Park, finishing at the scenic Loch Morlich beach. Scheduled for January 3, 2026, this festival offers two trail running distances: 5.6KM and 11.2KM, with trail shoes recommended due to the forest terrain. Participants enjoy a supportive, family- and dog-friendly atmosphere, including a group warm-up session, chip timing, and bespoke finisher medals.

The event features prizes for top finishers and home-baked treats at the finish line. It provides a unique opportunity to start the year actively amidst the stunning natural beauty of the Cairngorms. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
