Scurry Around Cramond Island 5 Mile Run

Scurry Around Cramond Island 5 mile run

Scurry Around Cramond Island is a 5 mile mixed terrain running event on 29 May 2026 that uses the tidal Cramond Island area near Edinburgh. The event takes participants along a clearly marked and marshaled undulating route that includes coastal and inland sections.

The course starts by the boardwalk beach club cafe and includes a short off road loop through the field behind the Roman Fort and Cramond Kirk before descending toward the island crossing. It is around a mile from the Promenade to the island. Runners face a short hill climb across the island, a circumnavigation of the back beach, and a return along the same route to the finish line.

Terrain varies throughout the route and includes tarmac, uneven tarmac, grass, single track path, sandy beach and rocky surfaces. The route follows mixed surfaces and conditions, so puddles can be expected on the causeway depending on weather. The event also offers views across the River Forth toward Edinburgh and the Forth Bridges and includes approximately a mile of running out toward the island in the tidal area.
