Scurry Around Cramond Island 5 mile run
Scurry Around Cramond Island is a mixed terrain 5 mile sunset running event that takes place around Edinburgh's tidal Cramond Island. The route offers a chance to run roughly a mile out to sea and provides views across the Firth of Forth towards Edinburgh and the Forth Bridges.
The course is clearly marked and marshaled and follows an undulating route. It starts by the boardwalk beach club cafe, includes a short off road loop in the field behind the Roman Fort and Cramond Kirk, then heads down towards the island crossing. After a short hill climb across the island the route circumnavigates the beach at the back of the island and returns along the same route to the finish.
Terrain varies along the course and includes tarmac, grass, single track path, uneven tarmac, sandy beach and rocky surfaces. Depending on weather conditions, puddles can be expected on the causeway.
The event is scheduled for 29 May 2026 and is described as a mixed terrain 5 mile run. Entries are currently full and a waitlist is available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
