Ardbeg Islay Half Marathon

This road race, a fixture since 1986, takes place on the Isle of Islay, Argyll and Bute. Runners embark on a circular route from Bowmore, taking in the Islay scenery that defines this long-standing event. The course is entirely a road race, beginning and ending in Bowmore as participants navigate the island's unique landscape. After crossing the finish line, a distinctive tradition awaits: participants are invited to gather for a dram, adding a social and celebratory close to the event.
