Edinburgh Half Marathon 2026

Edinburgh Half Marathon offers a fast, flat course with stunning coastal views as it winds from the capital through East Lothian. It’s the perfect setting for an unforgettable run—and a great chance to set a new personal best.

Part of the acclaimed Edinburgh Marathon Festival, the half marathon draws thousands of runners and supporters each year.

Why is taking part is so important?

By participating in the Edinburgh Half 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.
