Scurry Around Cramond Island 5 mile run
Scurry Around Cramond Island is a mixed terrain 5 mile running event on 29 May 2026 that uses the tidal island and surrounding promenade near Edinburgh. Entries are listed as full with a waitlist available.
The route is clearly marked and marshaled and described as undulating. The course 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 the promenade to the island crossing. The crossing from the Promenade to the island is around a mile. Runners follow a short hill climb across the island, circumnavigate the beach at the island's rear, and return along the same route to the finish line.
Surfaces on the course vary and include tarmac, grass, single-track path, uneven tarmac, sandy beach and rocky sections. Depending on weather, puddles can be expected on the causeway. The route offers a mile out to sea and views across the River Forth toward Edinburgh and the Forth Bridges. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
