Edinburgh Running Festival

The Edinburgh Running Festival, taking place on August 3, 2025, offers runners scenic routes 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), all on closed roads. The event promises a friendly atmosphere with supportive marshals, a lively event village with food, drinks, and free post-race goodies.

Entries include a unique themed medal, chip-timed results, and free race photos. Optional technical t-shirts with the festival logo are available for purchase. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
