Edinburgh Running Festival

Experience Edinburgh at its most dramatic as you take on closed-road routes around Holyrood Park with the city skyline on the horizon.

In the shadow of Arthur’s Seat, these undulating Half Marathon, 10K and 5K courses blend big city buzz with breathtaking scenery, making this a perfect day out whether you are chasing a PB or enjoying a memorable run with friends.

Set on well-marshalled, clearly marked roads, the route loops beneath crags and open hillside with sweeping views across the capital. Expect smooth delivery from the team behind the UK’s largest running events, accurate chip timing, and a lively finish area to celebrate your effort.
