Your Capital Is Calling!
Challenge yourself at Scotland’s biggest running festival...
Join thousands of runners for an unforgettable weekend at the Edinburgh Marathon Festival this 24/25 May. The Edinburgh Marathon Festival offers a variety of races for all ages and abilities, making it the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself while soaking in the breathtaking views of Scotland’s historic capital.
Whether you're aiming for a personal best, running for fun, or raising money for charity, this festival has something for everyone. Whilst both the marathon and half marathon have already reached capacity for entries, there are still lots of events to take part in during the festival weekend.
Why not take on one of the exciting Saturday races and experience panoramic views of Scotland’s historic capital? Whether you're pushing for a personal best in the 10K, tackling the 5K, or cheering on the next generation in the junior races, you’ll be part of an incredible atmosphere.
If you want to experience the thrill of a marathon without running the full 26.2 miles then the Edinburgh team relay lets you and three teammates split the marathon distance, making it a fantastic team challenge. Each runner takes on a different leg of the course, from city streets to stunning coastal views, all leading to a spectacular finish in Musselburgh. Whether you’re running with friends, family, or colleagues, the relay is a fun and rewarding way to be part of the festival!
