👟🌟Runner Spotlight 🌟👟

As a recreational runner and lifelong anglophile, Hans Cuppen has had the Inverness Half Marathon on his bucket list for decades.

Heart surgery meant a full marathon was no longer possible, but he still completed FIVE half marathons - his last in New Jersey, USA.

Inverness, however, kept calling.

Now 73, this March, he and his son Joost will fly from Amsterdam to Inverness and make his dream of running in the Highland capital come true, by running the 5K together along the River Ness.

They’ll be fundraising for @alzscot, and hoping for a handshake with Nessie! 🦕
We say that medal will be very well deserved.

Please join us in giving Hans and his son a warm Highland welcome and good luck to them both!
