About the Edinburgh Half Marathon
Edinburgh's half uses a dedicated Sunday start, course profile and result archive, separating it cleanly from the companion marathon.
Course
Runners descend from Edinburgh toward flatter coastal roads and a Musselburgh-area finish, making controlled downhill pacing important.
Race-day weather
Late May can be cool and breezy, while sun on exposed coastal sections or steady rain can each change the race's character.
