You are welcome to complete the course at your own pace, however, there is a maximum time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes. This is very inclusive as even completing the route at a relatively slow walking pace will see you finish within 1 hour and 30 minutes. If you plan to walk the whole distance you are requested to allow runners to start in front of you.
Entries from wheelchair and handbike users are welcome. There are no separate wheelchair or handbike races, anyone entering the events will be included within the mass field for their respective race. Anyone taking part in a wheelchair or handbike must be self propelled for the entire race, therefore, participants in electric wheelchairs and individuals being pushed by a friend/colleague are not permitted on the course.

Starting on the historic Royal Mile, this incredible city centre route takes you past the Scottish National Gallery and into Princes Street Gardens, with the iconic Edinburgh Castle as your backdrop.
It then goes past the Scott Monument and swoops past the Scottish Parliament building, before carrying onto Holyrood Park. Here you take in the spectacular Arthurs Seat, as well as Holyrood Palace, before heading on to the Grassmarket. As you reach the hustle and bustle of the Grassmarket you’re past the halfway point, where the cheering crowds will help you on your way to a grandstand finish at BT Murrayfield Stadium.

This was my first ever run. It was well-organised and easy to attend and start. The run is very flat with a gradual uphill kilometre about 5K. Excellent finishing venue at Murrayfield Stadium where you finish in front of the cheering supporters in the stand. Now I’m hooked on running!
At the start there is a good atmosphere as you're surrounded by tall buildings at the top of the Royal Mile next to the castle. The run takes in tourist attractions in parts of the old town, Arthur’s Seat and the parliament. I would recommend this race to all abilities. William M
This was the first time I had done this race and I thought it was great. Craig W
A well organised closed-road race starting in the heart of Edinburgh's old town and finishing in Murrayfield Stadium. The course is great for beginners as it features a lot of downhill sections and none of the inclines are especially steep or challenging. Finishers receive a bag with a technical T-shirt, foil blanket, bottle of water and an Eat Natural fruit and nut bar and of course everyone gets a medal. Paul D
Personally I had a fantastic race managing a PB ... and a blistering sprint finish! It was my third year of running the race and probably my favourite 10K so far - a PB always helps! Paul D
A great closed road route through the heart of historic Edinburgh starting on the Royal Mile and ending at Murrayfield Stadium taking in Princes Street Gardens, Holyrood Park, Cowgate, Grass Market and West Approach Road. A good mixture of descents, flat and easy assents with nothing too challenging for new runners. Paul D
