The Edinburgh Marathon Festival offers a fast, scenic course starting in the capital and stretching through East Lothian. Recognised by the IAAF in 2012 with a bronze label, it’s ranked among the world’s top 75 races—perfect for chasing that personal best.
Why is taking part so important?
By participating in the Edinburgh Marathon on behalf of the UK Sepsis Trust you’ll be supporting our mission to end preventable deaths from sepsis and provide ongoing support for those affected.
Early detection is key to saving lives, and we work hard to raise public awareness, empower healthcare professionals, and drive improvements in sepsis care.
