Come and be part of Scotland's BIGGEST running festival!
Starting on Potterrow with the picturesque backdrop of The University of Edinburgh’s McEwan Hall, this incredible city centre route takes you past many iconic sights of this historic city.
The full weekend of events attracts about 30,000 runners with many supporters lining the course. Being a bank holiday weekend means you could also have time to see the sites.
By raising funds through sponsorship, you will be helping Harry's Pals give emotional support to parents who have recently received a diagnosis that their child has a life limiting or life threatening condition or illness. Support includes bespoke counselling and therapy and short breaks away. We need your help so that mums and dads across the country facing every parents worst nightmare are not left feeling abandoned and are provided with the support that they need to move forwards and face whatever lies ahead.
Get in touch with us at Harry's Pals if you want to run in this major sporting event with stunning views and help us support these families.
