Stornoway Half Marathon The Stornoway Half Marathon is no ordinary race. We offer a superb course, the second half of which is off-road, around the beautiful wooded grounds of Lews Castle. Runners who wish to return to the mainland on the Saturday may do so on the afternoon ferry to Ullapool, although there is now also a Sunday sailing. There are also Sunday flights from Stornoway to the mainland. For those who want to stay for the weekend, we offer a ceilidh dance on the Saturday night and the opportunity to relax in Hebridean fashion on the Sunday. Why not try something different and come to Scotland’s north west fringe for a very special race package.
The Course The course is partially on gravel paths and is unsuitable for wheelchairs. The route will be marked at one mile intervals. From the start at the Lews Castle College, the first half of the race continues through the main street in Stornoway town centre, and then onto Lower Sandwick bay and back towards the Lews Castle Grounds, which is an "off-road" section run on gravel paths. The section of the route up Willow Glen has two narrow bridges. At the first one, the path is narrow for approximately 40 metres. From then the drives through the grounds take over and pass the Lews Castle, through the woods and past the Creed Lodge. At this point runners briefly exit the "grounds" onto the Harris road, and turn left onto the Arnish road and then re-enter the "grounds". Runners follow down the river and along the shore road to the finish at Porters Lodge arch. A detailed map of both the half marathon and fun run courses can be viewed by following this link. The 10K will start in the Cuddy Point area of the Castle grounds, Shore Road, onto Porters Lodge, turn left and passed the golf club and join onto the half marathon route at just after 8 miles. There will be marshals at all key points around the course, please follow their directions and observe all route markings around the course.
