- Half Marathon (four laps)
The course consists of road running on public land. The route includes a hilly section for the first 2 km of the lap. The event is open to dog runners, buggy running, and is suitable for wheelchairs.
Participant Information
All participants receive a race chip for timing, and instant results are available upon crossing the finish line. Results are based on gun time for official placings, though net times are also recorded. Attendees collect a race pack at the event hub on the morning of the run, which includes a race number with an integrated timing chip and a dedicated headband.
Bag storage is available at the event hub under manned gazebos, though space is restricted. Following the completion of the run, participants receive a medal, water, and sweets. Selection awards are presented for categories such as the fastest runners, best dressed participants, and best moustaches. The event also features a coordinated warm-up with music and a fancy dress competition.
Location and Access
The event is located at Holyrood Park, Edinburgh. Parking within the park is limited and unavailable at the South Approach car park. Participants are encouraged to plan for alternative parking in the surrounding area. Registration opens in the morning and closes shortly before each race begins.
