The Edinburgh Marathon offers a stunning route that begins in Princes Street and continues past many of Edinburgh’s famous landmarks. You could be one of the 9,000 runners taking in the carnival atmosphere on race day if you run for Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland. 

The race has a unique atmosphere provided by on route entertainment including pipers lining the final mile to play the runners over the finish line in Holyrood Park. The new route has an overall elevation drop of 230ft, which makes it a fantastic course for runners seeking a personal best and we have guaranteed places available!

Own place runners

If you are lucky enough to secure your own place in the Edinburgh Marathon ballot we'd be delighted to have you on our running team. You’ll pledge to raise as much sponsorship as you possibly can for Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland and we'll be happy to have you on board.

Guaranteed places

If you'd like more information about joining our team with one of our guaranteed places for the Edinburgh Marathon 2008 please contact David.

If you run for Terrence Higgins Trust, with one of our guaranteed places or with your own place, we’ll offer you support and advice right through to being there on race day. All of our runners are invited to join a team email forum to swap advice and you'll be given a LoveLife fundraising pack, which includes sponsor forms, training guide, fundraising tips and ideas, and a gorgeous running vest and T-shirt.
