Come and be part of Scotland's BIGGEST running festival!
This ever-growing festival of running is now a major event in the Scottish sporting calendar. Starting in Edinburgh, the course heads out through East Lothian offering stunning views and an unforgettable running experience.
The marathon route is one of the fastest in the UK making that elusive personal best a distinct possibility! Edinburgh Marathon joined the world's elite road races in 2012 by becoming the first marathon in Scotland to be officially recognised by the IAAF, the athletics governing body. The IAAF bronze label puts the race among the top 75 in the world making it a pivotal part of the sporting calendar for runners.
The full weekend of events attracts around 30,000 runners, with thousands more lining the course to support. There are 9 races on offer over two days including the marathon, half marathon, team relay, 10k, 5k and junior races. There really is something for everyone, so why not make the most of the Bank Holiday weekend.
MCH Charity fundraises to enhance the excellent work of Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and to support our community. We grant funds which pay for things considered over and above basic NHS provision and which improve care and experience for patients and support staff wellbeing. Our funds help to provide state-of-the-art equipment, new facilities, art and all the added extras that make people’s experience at our hospitals and in our community services the best it can be. We couldn’t do any of this without the support of amazing people like you who choose to raise funds for their local NHS services. Taking on a physical challenge is the perfect way to help us to continue our work and we look forward to supporting you throughout your fundraising journey.
