Welcome to the Fitnessat58° Cairngorms Trail Marathon!

Join us on Sunday 20th September 2026, for a BRAND NEW event for the Cairngorms National Park, The Cairngorms Trail Marathon. Having built a reputation for delivering unforgettable, personal and welcoming events in the Scottish Highlands with The Loch Morlich Running Festival and The Speyside Triathlon, we thought it's time to add a marathon event to our calendar! Are you up for the challenge?

Event Details:

• Distance: 26.2 miles (trail shoes recommended). 80% trail, 20% road. 

• The Course: A stunning, challenging and unforgettable loop boasting incredible scenery along the way. Starting at the market stance in Kingussie and led out by a local piper, you will begin the first short section on road, before joining the Kingussie cycle path and crossing Tromie Bridge, this is when the race really begins - as you take a right and head out on the trails passed Killiehuntly and through the beautiful backdrop of Glenfeshie. Think mountain views, forest trails, river crossings and more, this is going to be epic! The course will loop back around and will finish at the market stance in Kingussie, where we will be waiting for you with big smiles, a high five, your finishers medal and food, allowing you to enjoy every minute of that huge sense of achievement! 

*Please note, the course includes challenging and undulating terrain, we recommend this event for people who have completed atleast a half marathon and are physically and mentally prepared to take on this challenge, there are no cut-off times, but your experience will be a much more positive one if you have prepared well!
