Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2026

Join Team Breakthrough T1D and fundraise for us at the Edinburgh Marathon Running Festival 2025 by taking on either the marathon, half marathon, team relay, 10K, 5K or any of the junior runs.

Sign up to Team Breakthrough T1D and we will support you with:

• Breakthrough T1D running vest
• Fundraising pack with lots of hints and tips to maximise your fundraising
• Regular contact with Breakthrough T1D staff to help and encourage you in the lead up to the event
• Welcome from Breakthrough T1D staff and volunteers at the marathon & half marathon finish area to celebrate your achievement!

Whether this is your first 5k or you are an experienced marathon runner, we hope that you can raise lots of money for us so we can continue funding life-changing type 1 diabetes research and supporting people living with type 1.

If you’ve got your own place but want to run for us, we’d be thrilled to have you on the team - see below for more info.
