Visit Inverness Loch Ness has organized and is hosting the Loch Ness Challenge which is due to take place between Friday 20th May – Sunday 23rd May 2022. The event will be using the South Loch Ness Trail and Great Glen Way. The event is a large sporting event where runners and cyclists will be using the trails. We currently have 200 bike participants, 100 ultra-runners, and 50 for each marathon (having 3 separate marathons).

We just wanted to make you aware of the event and ask if there was anything you would like to support with. We need volunteers, areas to park for aid stations etc., equipment including gazebos, tables, chairs etc. If you think you would be able to assist with any of these please let us know.

Can you please let us know if you have received this email by replying, please also include any questions or concerns you would like to discuss. I’m happy to schedule a time to talk should you wish to discuss anything in detail.
