Scurry to the Sea 2026
Scurry to the Sea is a unique 12 mile running event that takes place on 26 July 2026. The route begins with a short hill run to the top of Allermuir in the Pentland Hills and then descends toward the coast.
Participants follow a route that moves from hilltop to the sea and uses a mix of surface types. The course includes cross country sections, elements of urban orienteering and stretches of road running. The event finishes on the sand at Musselburgh beach, providing coastal terrain at the end of the route.
The event was the original reason for setting up Scurry Events and links various trails throughout Edinburgh. The description emphasises the combination of terrain and navigation rather than a single surface type. The course offers varied footing and changes in elevation from the initial climb to the beach finish, and it passes through both natural and urban areas.
