It takes an incredible army of volunteers to power Etape Loch Ness!

As we head towards the event, we want to say a massive THANK YOU to our volunteers - they truly are the backbone of our events.

Special shout-out to @rokzkoolacademy, a brilliant local Highland charity who provide a dedicated group of volunteers for all our events.

From workshops and holiday clubs to community projects, they help families and young people come together, be creative, and learn new skills.

Whether helping you find your rhythm on the drums or your pace on the course, their energy is infectious. We are so proud to partner with them.

Please give ALL our volunteers a huge cheer when you see them out on the route! 📣

🚒 Cyclist’s Stories: MEET TEAM MARTIN 🦕✨

At the finish line of the 2025 Etape Loch Ness, an emotional moment between two firefighters sparked something incredible.

Tomek was hugging his colleague and friend, Martin, who was recovering from cancer treatment. It was in that moment Martin said he wanted to ride the event himself the following year. Tomek`s reply? "OK - but we do it together, with a group."

That was the birth of Team Martin. 🤝🚲

Today, a crew of firefighters and friends are in training for April 2026. They aren`t just riding for the miles; they are riding to celebrate Martin`s recovery and to raise vital funds for @macmillancancer and @thefirefighterscharity 🧡💪

Check out their team photo - captured perfectly by 6-year-old helper, Ethan!

We are so proud to have Team Martin on the course this year. Let`s show them some massive Etape encouragement in the comments! 👇

Be a good egg - join our volunteer crew! 🐣🧡

We`re on the hunt for some marshals and start line superstars to help out at Bught Park and Dochgarroch.

If you want to be part of the epic adventure without having to climb Glendoe yourself, this is your moment!
It`s a brilliant way to support your loved ones and for locals to get involved with the event and experience the Etape buzz.

Our volunteers make Etape Loch Ness happen. If you`re free to lend a hand, we`d be hugely grateful.
