Get ready for the ultimate running event, with the combination of flat roads and the most stunning views of the East Lothian Coast, what are you waiting for?

The Scottish Half Marathon is seriously smooth & rapid – which is great for charity runners and those new to marathon running, but also a perfect event for those seasoned marathon runners looking to set a new personal best.

The Scottish half marathon kicks off on the outskirts of Edinburgh and takes you along the most magnificent paths along the East Lothian Golf Coast. The Marathon finish line sits in Scotland’s Oldest Racecourse.
