As I lace up my trusty running shoes for the 2024 Baxters Loch Ness Marathon, I'm not just preparing to tackle 26.2 miles of some of the most breathtaking Scottish Highlands scenery. Nope. I'm also on a quest – a quest to finally spot the world's most elusive creature: the Loch Ness Monster.
I mean, what better motivation is there to run a marathon than the possibility of coming face-to-face with a legendary beast? While some people run for personal records, I’ll be scanning the loch for any sign of Nessie's head poking through the mist. (Because if there’s one thing a marathoner needs, it’s a good distraction from thinking about how far you still have left to go, right?)
