Queen’s Nurses running for QNIS

19 March 2026

A team of Queen’s Nurses from across Scotland swapped their uniforms for running shoes to complete the Inverness Half Marathon 5k in order to raise money for QNIS. The race took place on 8 March, which, rather fittingly, was also International Women’s Day.

Crowds along the route cheered them on, and by the time they crossed the finish line, the nurses had raised more than £1000.

Emma Legge, QNIS Professional Nurse Lead, said: “We are so grateful to everyone who gave up their time to run in aid of QNIS. Their efforts will help us to provide innovative professional development opportunities for more community nurses and midwives across Scotland.”
