The Scottish Half Marathon is the ultimate running experience.

The races combine fast, flat routes with stunning views of East Lothian’s Golf Coast – come and be a part of it!  

The route is seriously flat and rapid – if you want to set a personal best for a half marathon, then this is the event for you.  Starting just outside Edinburgh, you run along the magnificent East Lothian Golf Coast before finishing in the final furlong at Musselburgh Racecourse, Scotland’s oldest racecourse.

If you’ve never run before, or this will be your 100th running event, you can’t afford to miss out on what is going to be the ‘must-do’ running event of 2025. It’s fresh and it’s exciting – give it a go and set your 2025 challenge today.
