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.
The Ickle Pickles Children's Charity aims to give every newborn a chance. Over 90,000 babies are born sick or prematurely in the UK every year. Many require Intensive or Special care in a neonatal unit — we call these babies Ickle Pickles. The Ickle Pickles is the only charity that helps hospitals raise money to buy essential equipment for premature babies nationally. We provide new and much-needed intensive and special-care equipment for neonatal units and upgrade facilities to support parents and neonatal staff, making a big difference to the treatment of small babies.
