Join #TeamSamaritans and take on the world famous Edinburgh Marathon. You'll begin in the historic city center, taking in all the sights as you make your way to the coast and some stunning views.

Edinburgh Marathon Festival is Scotland's largest running event boasting a picturesque route and amazing atmosphere. Run through Edinburgh with Edinburgh Castle as a stunning backdrop, with plenty of natural beauty on offer along the route. The course is fast and flat - a great route for a potential new PB or ideal if it's your first marathon. Taking place over the bank holiday weekend, you can enjoy a weekend away in Scotland's beautiful capital city while fundraising to support Samaritans services.
