Scurry Around Cramond Island 5 Mile Run

The Scurry Around Cramond Island 5 Mile Run is a unique mixed-terrain running event held in Edinburgh, featuring a scenic 5-mile course around the tidal Cramond Island. Runners experience an undulating route that includes tarmac, grass, single-track paths, sandy beaches, and rocky surfaces. The course starts near the Boardwalk Beach Club Café, loops through fields behind the Roman Fort and Cramond Kirk, and crosses a mile-long causeway to the island.

Participants navigate a short hill climb and circumnavigate the island’s beach before returning along the same path. The event offers stunning views across the River Forth towards Edinburgh and the iconic Forth Bridges, with marshals and clear markings ensuring a safe and enjoyable run.
