The Edinburgh Marathon Festival 5K takes place on closed roads around Holyrood Park in the centre of Edinburgh. The route follows smooth tarmac roads beneath Arthur’s Seat with panoramic views across the city and towards Edinburgh Castle.
The traffic free course and shorter distance make the event suitable for a wide range of runners, from first time participants to experienced runners looking for a fast 5K in a scenic setting. Part of Scotland’s biggest running festival weekend, the race combines a lively atmosphere with one of Edinburgh’s most recognisable parkland locations.
