2019 EVENT CANCELED. From race website: “It is with great regret that we have to announce that the Highland Perthshire Marathon and Half Marathon Run and Bike due to take place on Saturday 7th September 2019 has been cancelled. Despite carrying out the necessary route availability checks with the relevant parties before opening the event for entries we have just been informed that major works are shortly about to begin which renders part of the route impassable on health and safety grounds. Unfortunately we do not have sufficient time to identify an alternative route and carry out the necessary background work to seek fresh approvals. We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience that this will cause and hope that the event will be able to return in the not too distant future. Arrangements are in hand to refund any entry fees as soon as possible. ” —–
The Highland Perthshire Marathon and Half are the Friendliest Marathon and Half Marathon Run or Cycle events in Scotland. A big welcome awaits you in Aberfeldy for the 6th staging of this event. Over the years, well over £85,000 has been raised for charities and good causes. Aberfeldy and District Rotary Club organise the event with the aim of raising money for charities and good causes internationally, nationally and locally. We have a number of free charity places available through our 4 Charity Partners. All you have to do is commit to raising a minimum of £100 with a target of £175.
If you do not want to commit to raising sponsorship, you are still helping to raise money just by entering the event! The vast majority, if not all the events costs, are covered by corporate and local sponsorship leaving the Rotary Club to redistribute the money raised through Entry fees to many good causes. If you would like to donate an additional £10 to the Rotary Club please tick the box when entering through Entry Central.
From the moment you arrive you’ll receive a warm welcome at this well organised and value event. The race package for all competitors includes free parking, free camping, a race souvenir, medal for all finishers, free shower, free swim, free tea and cakes and a fantastic free celeidh in the evening. Great value, great scenery, great organisation, great weekend.
