Take part in the UK's biggest running festival! Edinburgh Half Marathon is flat and fast, great for those looking for a personal best or new to running.
The route goes from the centre of the capital, passing Arthur’s Seat and Scottish Parliament before finishing at Musselburgh racecourse. It is one of the fastest half marathons out there, with a descent of almost 90 metres to near sea level.
Registration cost: £35
Fundraising target: £350
Taking part in this challenge is not only an incredible personal achievement but you’ll also be helping us to give vulnerable children a safe and happy childhood. We ask everyone taking part to raise a minimum of £350 and we’ll support you every step of the way.
