Come along and take part in the Women’s 10K Edinburgh!
Women's 10K helps thousands on their journey to becoming fitter, healthier and happier.
Maybe you’ve not done any exercise in a while and need a goal to motivate you, maybe you want to challenge your mates, or maybe you want to raise some cash for a worthwhile cause – whatever your reason, the Women’s 10K is the perfect opportunity for you to lace up those trainers and make a difference, either to your own life or someone else’s.
Your evolution. Your destiny. You decide.
From the start on the Royal Mile, in the shadow of Arthur's Seat, to the finish line at Murrayfield Stadium, this is a stunning city centre route.
Your goal at your own pace to make a difference to your own life or someone else's, without stigma or judgment.
Revel in the encouragement you'll receive from the minute you sign up all the way to the finish line!
This event brings together a strong, supportive community of women who come together to make a positive change, without stigmas or judgment. Even if you haven't exercised in a while and need a goal - get involved!
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.
There will be a team of four friendly pacers on the course. They will be running at 45 minute, 50 minute, 55 minutes and 1 hour finish time pace – so if your individual goal is to complete the course in one of these times, they can help you do this!
