About Edinburgh Marathon Festival | 2K Junior
Scotland's largest running festival brings together 40,000 participants across a Bank Holiday weekend in May, centred on Edinburgh's iconic landmarks. The Edinburgh Marathon Festival spans nine events on the road, from a 1 km kids' kilometre through to the full 26.2 mile marathon, with distances at 1.5 km, 2 km, 5 km, 10 km and 13.1 miles in between. Saturday hosts the 10K, 5K and junior races, while Sunday features the half marathon and marathon, allowing runners of all ages and abilities to take part.
The marathon course, previously voted the UK's fastest by Runner's World, starts in the heart of the city near Holyrood Park and Edinburgh Castle before opening out to panoramic views across Edinburgh and towards the East Lothian coastline. The festival is known for its substantial crowd support and inclusive approach, with dedicated accessibility provision throughout the weekend.
