The Race
Edinburgh
The Edinburgh Marathon was founded in 1983, during the golden age of mass-participation running. Now 43 years old, it has established itself as a beloved fixture in Edinburgh, growing from its early editions into a race with genuine character and loyal following.
The course record of 02:05:48, set by Moses Kemboi in 2017, speaks to what the Edinburgh Marathon offers elite athletes: a fast, honest course where serious times are achievable. The record has drawn increasingly competitive fields year after year.
The Edinburgh Marathon route is one of those courses where runners forget their pace and reach for their phones. The scenery through Edinburgh and its surroundings has earned this race a reputation as one of the most photogenic in Europe.
