Edinburgh Running Festival

The Edinburgh Running Festival, held on August 3, 2025, offers runners scenic races around Holyrood Park in Edinburgh, featuring views of the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Arthur's Seat. Participants can choose from a half marathon (four laps with out-and-back sections), a 10K (two laps), or a 5K (one lap) on closed roads. The event promises a friendly atmosphere with supportive marshals, a lively event village offering food, drinks, and free goodies, plus chip-timed results, unique themed medals, and free race photos.

Optional technical t-shirts with the festival logo are available. The festival emphasizes sustainability and quality race experiences. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
