Portobello Beach Race

The Portobello Beach Race is a 4-mile running event held on the sand of Portobello Beach in Edinburgh, Scotland. Scheduled for August 24, 2025, the race features a scenic out-and-back course along the beach, starting near Towerbank Primary School. Runners head east to a marker by the pumping station, then return past the start to a turnaround near the Cat and Dog Home before finishing back at the start line.

The race is timed with low tide, so participants may encounter wet feet or need to navigate groynes. The event supports local causes, including Towerbank Primary School, and includes a kids' fun run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
