Slow Marathon 2019

The Slow Marathon 2019 will walk the local poem 'The Ba'Hill, the Battlehill, the Clashmach and the Bin, they all form a circle and Hunty lies within'. It is a circle of varied terrain - including woodland, farmland, hills, and along the river Deveron - starting and finishing in Huntly.

Slow Marathon, co-concepted with Ethiopian artist Mihret Kebede in 2012, is our annual walking event. Celebrating the human pace, it is both an endurance event as well as a poetic act that brings together friendship, physical activity and an appreciation of our varied landscape.
