This packed weekend offers something for everyone, with 9 events across two days, including the marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, team relay, and junior races. The route starts in the historic heart of Edinburgh and winds out along the picturesque East Lothian coastline, offering a fast, flat course and breathtaking views.

Officially recognised by World Athletics, the Edinburgh Marathon is one of the fastest in the UK - perfect for runners chasing a personal best. And with over 30,000 participants and supporters lining the route, the atmosphere is second to none.
