Jordan Foster, Head Coach at Coopah, said: “We are super excited to be working with the team at Loch Ness Marathon and we are really looking forward to helping lots of their runners beat their goals over the event weekend – whether they are aiming for a marathon PB, or looking to take on their first 5 or 10k! We know how much of a difference it can make to event day if runners have followed a plan that has been designed for them and how it can make race day a much more positive experience. So, with that, combined with the beautiful scenery of Loch Ness we know that the Class of ’24 are going to have the best time, and we can’t wait to be a part of it!”
Malcolm Sutherland, Event and Race Director of Loch Ness Marathon, added: “It’s wonderful to officially reveal this partnership. We have been enjoying working with Jordan and the full Coopah team and already know how much our participants will benefit from the platform. It’s a great step forward in providing the best possible experience and we look forward to welcoming enthusiastic runners in their thousands to the beautiful Highlands in September.”
