The Illuminator Run
Aboyne (Aberdeenshire), 26th October 2024
This is an event like no other. A unique experience which will guide you through the natural beauty of Glen Tanar’s ancient, Scots pine forest - all whilst light trails, reflectors and a breath-taking light zone bathe the forest in a spectacular glow as you navigate your route.
The Illuminator Run invites you to go wild through the night by walking or running 15 miles in darkness, with just the glow of your head-torch to lead the way.
For those passionate about trail running and serious physical and mental challenges, the Half-Marathon (15 Mile) route will take you over rugged hill trails through the heart of Glen Tanar's ancient forest, following the beautiful Water of Allachy and Water of Tanar.
There is also an 8K route, billed as ‘family friendly but not a walk in the park’ – alongside a 15K route, for those keen on a slightly tougher challenge. Whichever you choose, this exhilarating experience will captivate your friends and family when you tell them all about your truly wild challenge.
We have a limited number of discounted SAMH spaces available. So, grab your trail shoes, fix your head torch and join the fun at the Illuminator Run!
We would love you to champion Scotland’s mental health by taking part in The Illuminator Run 2024 in support of SAMH. In return for your discounted entry to the event, we would ask you to raise funds for the charity and agree to a minimum fundraising target.
Register for your discounted SAMH space here.
If you already have a space, but would like to fundraise for SAMH, we would be honoured to support your fundraising. Please drop us an email at fundraising@samh.org.uk and our team will be on hand to offer advice, provide a runner tee and support your fundraising.
