Location: Edinburgh
Fast and flat, the Edinburgh Half Marathon follows the marathon course and is ideal if it’s your first half marathon or you are looking for a PB. This increasingly popular route takes in some of Edinburgh’s most historic and iconic landmarks, as well as picturesque views along the East Lothian coastline.
Join Team Beat at the start line and help change the lives of people affected by eating disorders. Our friendly team will be there to support you every step of the way!
Our applications are now closed for our charity places, but if you've purchased your own place in the half marathon, we’d love for you to join Team Beat. There’s no minimum fundraising target; we simply ask that you raise as much as you can.
If you have personal experience of an eating disorder or current health issues, you should not take part in the Edinburgh Half Marathon if doing so could put your health and wellbeing in jeopardy. Successful applicants who have had any experience of an eating disorder may be required to provide a doctor’s certificate stating they have a suitable level of fitness to participate
If you have bought your place directly through the Edinburgh Marathon Festival organisers, we'd love for you to join Team Beat!
Be part of a movement to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders.
Your fundraising will support our Helpline services so that anyone who is worried about themselves or a loved one can contact our Helpline 365 days a year, so no one has to face an eating disorder. You can find out more about how your fundraising makes a difference here.
