A massive cheer from the loudest cheer station on the route!
You will receive a huge amount of support from the Barnardo’s Challenge Events team and our volunteers as you run past our cheer station on the day.
And last but not least – you’ll raise vital funds!
This event is an exciting way of raising vital funds through sponsorship. All sponsorship will go directly towards supporting some of the UK’s most vulnerable children and young people. Our dedicated Challenge Events team is here to support you every step of the way.
Why Edinburgh?
You’ll get to see the best that the beautiful city of Edinburgh has to offer: Starting in the city centre with Edinburgh Castle providing a spectacular backdrop, the route takes you past Holyrood Palace; Arthur’s Seat; along Portobello Promenade for a breath of Scottish sea air; past the stunning Gosford house before finishing just outside Musselburgh Racecourse. With its flat route, this marathon is one of the fastest in the UK, giving runners the chance to achieve that elusive personal best.
