Course Details
The race is 6 x 7km laps. The loop starts at Gypsy Brae Park and heads Westwards towards Cramond along the foreshore where you run around the ‘flagpole’ before turning back towards Granton. It is all tarmac and is a flat course with very few obstacles, such as trees, to manoeuvre. It will start and finish at the same area.
Please follow all instructions from our race marshals as they are there to ensure your safety.

Race Finish
The race will finish at Gypsy Brae Recreation Ground where your family, friends and supporters can come along and cheer you across the finish line, socially distanced of course. We have arranged for a wood fired oven pizza caterer who will also have a variety of soft drinks. This is available to all runners and supporters, to prevent a licence breach your hands will be
stamped to show the vendor that you / your team (including supporters) are ‘one of us’. Prices start at £7 and you can pay by using your phone or card. There will be a Sunset Marathon Pizza – topped with protein and salt to help you recover!
Race Limit
Current COVID restrictions limit us to 500 runners in a race and 50 in a bubble so you will be started off in waves if this is still the case.

Prize Giving & Results
We are an eco-conscious company and our wooden UK made medals will be handed out at the finish line.
