EDINBURGH MARATHON FESTIVAL

Edinburgh has hosted an annual marathon that has run each year since 2003. Currently it forms part of the Edinburgh Marathon Festival, usually in May. The current route was introduced in 2007 and begins in the city centre, moves out of Edinburgh into East Lothian, finishing at Musselburgh. It is a point-to-point course with a drop of approximately 40 metres, making it acceptable for rankings but not for records. The pre-2007 courses were compliant.
