There’s no better place to run this May than the Edinburgh Marathon Festival - a full weekend of exciting races, beautiful scenery, and brilliant atmosphere.
Starting in Scotland’s iconic capital and stretching out to the East Lothian coast, the marathon route is one of the UK’s flattest and fastest, making it ideal for PB-chasers and first-timers alike.

But this festival is more than just 26.2 miles. With nine different events across two days - including a half marathon, 10K, 5K, junior races, and a team relay - there’s something for everyone, whether you’re running solo, as a family, or with friends.

Choose to run for Furnishing Futures and you’ll help transform empty spaces into safe, healing homes for women and children escaping domestic abuse and starting again with nothing.
