Kilomathon Runners

The Perfect Distance

Is it time to graduate from 5K and 10K races to something a bit more unique?

This Edinburgh-based event offers something a little different to the norm with a unique set of distances on offer for runners looking to move on up from traditional 10K and 5K distances.Taking place on Sunday 6 April, Kilomathon's unique distances are run on Edinburgh's tranquil cycle path network.

Those signing up can look forward to running past the historic Royal Yacht Britannia, through picturesque Victoria Park and more. And the best bit is a fantastic finish in front of the West Stand at Murrayfield Stadium.

There are two distances for adult runners to choose from with the unique distances of 13.1K or 6.5K both on offer. Organisers suggest that the longer distance is perfect for runners that are training for a full or half marathon later in the year or for those looking to step-up from a 10K. Similarly, the 6.5K offers runners an ideal step-up distance from a 5K or can be used as an excellent stepping stone for those wanting to do a 10K in the future.

Want to get the kids involved too? Well, the 2.62K junior race is a fun challenge for kids and takes place inside BT Murrayfield Stadium. What a fantastic location for the juniors to get their running fix!

Speaking about the event and all it has to offer, organisers said: "Runners will experience the lively atmosphere of Scotland's capital as they run through the heart of the city and with a grandstand stadium finish, this is an event not to be missed."
